Start a Full Medical Withdrawal

If your licensed health care provider recommends that you withdraw from one or more of your courses, due to your physical and/or psychological condition. Since you can drop courses up until the withdrawal deadline (see the academic calendar for withdrawal dates), you should only apply for a partial medical withdrawal if reducing your course load may impact your international student status or if you missed the withdrawal deadline.

Start a Partial Medical Withdrawal

Choose this option if you need to medically withdraw from all of your courses from a past semester.

Start a Retroactive Medical Withdrawal

Choose this option if an immediate family member is either seriously ill or has passed away.

Start a Family Medical Withdrawal

Choose this option if you need a family medical withdrawal from a past semester due to a serious illness or death in your family.
