Medical Withdrawal

A Medical Withdrawal is requested when a student is suffering from a medical condition that prevents the completion of the semester. If a student is approved for Medical Withdrawal, a refund of tuition and fees is also approved. The student receives a “W” which indicates on the academic record that the student was withdrawn from classes. If the student was aware of the medical condition at the time of registration, the petition will be denied. Medical Withdrawals are for all courses that the student is registered in for the semester.

Only illness or injuries, as related to the student, of extended duration are normally considered for a Medical Withdrawal. Consideration will be given only when an illness or injury makes it impossible to complete a term. A Medical Withdrawal requires withdrawal from all classes for that term. Medical Withdrawals will not be approved if the difficulty resulting from the injury or illness was present when the student enrolled for the term.

The following forms will be required to file for a Medical Withdrawal and should be returned to the Director of Student Success:

  1. Medical Withdrawal Request—The Medical Withdrawal Request is a request to be medically withdrawn from Mitchell Tech and should be returned to the Center for Student Success. If you have any type of financial assistance from the Office of Financial Aid, you must have them sign the form before turning it in.
  2. Medical Release—The Medical Release form is to be signed, witnessed and returned, along with the Medical Withdrawal Request form by the student.
  3. Health/Medical Provider Report—The Health/Medical Provider Report is a form which must be completed by the student and the student’s physician(s) and must be returned directly to the Center for Student Success by the health/medical provider(s).
  4. Letter of Explanation—The Letter of Explanation is a statement from the student regarding the severity of his/her medical condition, explaining why he/she is unable to complete the semester due to the medical condition.
