Withdrawal From the College
A student who discontinues study at Loras College must complete an official withdrawal form by scheduling an exit interview with the Academic Success and Retention Coordinator by calling 563-588-7829. The student’s official withdrawal date is the date the student submits the withdrawal form, which will be made available following the exit interview. The official withdrawal date is used to calculate tuition owed and any refunds for which the student is eligible.
A student withdrawing from the College must return the laptop computer to the Technology Center Help Desk. Failure to do so may result in legal action. The student is encouraged to contact the Business Office to verify any outstanding balance, the Financial Planning Office for information on loan repayment, and the post office to complete a change of address form. If the student resides in campus housing, they must contact the Residence Life staff to complete a check-out.
Medical Withdrawals
When a student is unable to complete a term due to significant medical or psychological issues, a medical withdrawal may be considered. The student must contact the Health Center and/or Counseling Center and may be required to submit additional documentation from off-campus healthcare providers. The Health Center and/or Counseling Center will collect and review the information provided and make a recommendation to the Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students.
If a withdrawal is granted, the student will receive a “W” on their transcript for the entire term. A partial withdrawal will not be granted. Loras College reserves the right to decide if a student will be allowed readmission to the college. If the student is readmitted, Loras College may also establish parameters for the return to campus/classes. Prior to returning to campus/classes, the student must contact the Health Center and/or Counseling Center for an assessment and may be required to submit documentation from their healthcare provider.
January Term Fees: Students who need to withdraw from a January term course for medical reasons must provide valid medical documentation to the Loras College Health Center in order to be eligible to have the course fee refunded to the student’s account.
