CARE Resources & Policies

Involuntary Withdrawal

The University is committed to creating a safe environment for its students and the University community, however when a student can no longer remain on campus, with or without reasonable accommodations, because the student is a safety risk or they are causing repeated disruption to the university’s learning environment, the student may be involuntarily withdrawn from the University. A student may be involuntarily withdrawn if the university determines on an individualized, case-by-case basis, in accordance with the procedures outlined in the policy, that the student:

1. Demonstrates behavior that is unreasonably disruptive to the normal educational, residential or other activities of the University;
2. Demonstrates behavior that endangers him/herself, or that creates an imminent and direct threat that the student may endanger him/herself, or;
3. Demonstrates behavior that endangers others, or that creates an imminent and direct threat that the student may endanger others.

For more details about the process, please review the Involuntary Withdrawal full policy (pdf - 437 KB).
