Official Withdrawal Policy

Withdrawal Policy

A student who needs to withdraw from the University or take a leave of Absence should contact the Office of Student Affairs to schedule a departure interview.  Both a Withdrawal (WDL) and a Leave of Absence (LOA) are is considered official once the LOA or WDL paperwork reflecting the student's intention has been completed by a designated Student Affairs representative.  Completed documents will state the intentions of the student to discontinue the course(s) in which s/he is registered and the effective date the WDL or LOA will be implemented, which is then recorded by the Registrar’s Office. If a student fails to complete the departure interview, the applicable date will be the midpoint of the term, unless the University can substantiate a later date. When a later date is established, that date will be reflected on the departure document. During a student’s leave of absence, their official records remain active, as does their email address. Students returning from a leave of absence within one year are not required to be formally readmitted. Students will be expected to fulfill the graduation requirements in effect at the date of their original matriculation. Students who do not return from a leave of absence within one year are withdrawn from the University. To return, they must be formally readmitted. Withdrawal from the University is the permanent separation of the student from the University.  Should a withdrawn student want to return to the University, they will have to apply for admission.

Other Academic Standing information for the University, including the Withdrawal Policy, can be found in the catalog.

Information in regards to returning from a Leave of Absence can be found on the Registrar's Office page.

Title IX Sexual Misconduct

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. Under Title IX, prohibited sex discrimination includes, but is not limited to, sexual misconduct. The University of Redlands takes sexual discrimination seriously, and is committed to upholding the rights granted by Title IX and to fully investigating and addressing Title IX violations.

The University actively seeks to:

                • Prevent sexual misconduct by educating and providing resources to raise awareness;
                • Recognize, respond and provide support to those who have experienced or been accused of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct; and
                • Ensure measures are taken to stop adverse behavior and prevent recurrence.

 

The policies regarding Title IX related matters are part of the University’s Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, and Retaliation

Reports of Title IX violations can be made to the Title IX Coordinator or via the website filing a report link.

Reporting Non-Title IX Equity

Redlands does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct which is prohibited both by law and by University policy. The University’s Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, and Retaliation supports the University’s commitments to equality of opportunity and maintaining an academic environment and workplace that is free from unlawful discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct and retaliation.

For non-Title IX equity matters, the policy includes the following: (1) definitions of equity harassment, and discrimination; (2) a formal complaint process to report equity concerns via a single office; and (3) detailed procedures for investigating and adjudicating non-Title-IX equity matters.

The expansion of this policy is a direct response to the advocacy of our current students, faculty, staff, and alumni with whom we fully intend to continue to collaborate with in providing more opportunities for equity within our campus communities.
