Drew University strives to support students in achieving success in their academic and extracurricular endeavors. When illness or significant personal hardship impacts a student’s ability to successfully meet the requirements of his or her course of study, the University will strive to assist the student in best meeting their challenges. In unusual circumstances, a student may be unable to perform the essential functions required of a student or may represent a threat to himself or to others and may be required to involuntarily withdraw from the University in order to address these issues.
Voluntary Withdrawals: Voluntary Withdrawal : Withdrawal form is available via Treehouse. It is essential that a student notify the University if he/she is not planning to return. The enrollment and housing deposits are forfeited if the University is not formally notified of the withdrawal. Students leaving after the last day to officially withdrawal, as noted on the academic calendar, will be subject to grades of “F” at the time of withdrawal, unless an appeal is approved by the Committee on Academic Standing. Additional guidance may be found in the catalog of the appropriate school.
Interim restrictions or actions: The status of a student and a student’s right to be present on the campus and to attend classes may be suspended on an interim basis, when there is an immediate threat to the health, safety, or well-being of the student or to other members of the campus community. The Dean of Students (or designee) may, after an initial assessment of conduct affecting the health, safety, or welfare of the campus community and upon finding that such a threat exists, revoke a student’s right to be on campus or suspend a student from specified locations, activities, and programming, including class, for an interim period, pending a meeting as described below. Any interim restriction shall become immediately effective upon the required finding being made. Drew will may discuss voluntary leave with the student as an initial option.
