A Medical Withdrawal may impact your financial aid or status of your student account.  Recalculation of financial aid will occur when any adjustment occurs with your tuition and fees. This could result in an amount due to the university. Please contact Financial Aid 724.738.2044 and Student Accounts 724.738.2088 for more information. 

Students living on campus will need to move from their Residence Hall once their withdrawal is complete.  Please contact Residence Life 724.738.2082.
