Medical Withdrawal
A withdrawal for medical reasons must be authorized by the director of the University Health Services or the chief of the Division of Mental Hygiene, or by their official designees within the Health Services. If a student under the care of a non–University Health Services physician wishes to withdraw for medical reasons, that physician should submit sufficient medical history to the director of the University Health Services for a final decision on the recommendation. A student planning to return to Yale should discuss the requirements for readmission with the residential college dean or the chair of the Committee on Readmission.
Yale College reserves the right to require a student to withdraw for medical reasons when, on recommendation of the director of the University Health Services or the chief of the Division of Mental Hygiene, the dean of Yale College determines that the student is a danger to self or others because of a serious medical problem, or that the student has refused to cooperate with efforts deemed necessary by the University Health Services to determine if the student is such a danger.
