Medical Withdrawals
Medical Withdrawal
You may experience a physical and/or psychological condition that significantly affects your academic and personal success during your time at Auburn University. In these cases, it may be necessary to take time away from Auburn to focus on your health. A medical withdrawal can provide you with the opportunity to focus more on your health needs without the stress of campus and academic life.
The medical withdrawal process is available for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students.
