Studies show that active intervention is the most effective method of supporting students’ success.

The Peer Alert and Self Referral Form is part of our Student Tracking And Retention System (STARS). It solicits input from students to alert personnel in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs (OASA) when students are struggling. This form will help you or your fellow students get needed help and connect to campus-wide resources.

Please let us know if you or a fellow student is struggling in a course or experiencing personal difficulties. We will contact the student discreetly and check in with them to see if there is any assistance we can provide. The source of the referral will be kept strictly confidential and not revealed to the student of concern. Depending on the nature of the concern, a referral may be sent to a School chaplain.

Use this tool if you or a fellow student:

• Has experienced a recent death of a relative or close friend
• Terminated a significant relationship
• Is struggling academically
• Is struggling financially
• Has missed class frequently or is not attending at all
• Is socially isolated
• You suspect alcohol or drug abuse
• Is struggling with self-identity
• Is showing troubling behavior (persistent sadness/crying, suicidal thoughts / comments, aggressiveness, etc.)

A temporary withdrawal is a planned interruption in a student’s formal education program. It is normally short term (one or two semesters) and designed for full-time students in good academic standing (cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above). The principal advantage of a temporary withdrawal is that it offers a student the opportunity to leave school temporarily with the assurance that studies can be resumed with minimal administrative difficulty.

To initiate a temporary withdrawal, the student should discuss his/her plans with the faculty advisor and then make a formal request in writing to the associate dean for academic affairs (traditional students) or the appropriate post-professional pathway director (physical therapy, occupational therapy or pharmacy), explaining why the temporary withdrawal is needed and the expected date of return to school. Approval or denial of the request will be provided, in writing, by the associate dean for academic affairs.

Students should be advised that a temporary withdrawal initiated mid-semester may result in loss of tuition. Students who begin their temporary withdrawal in the middle of the semester will be withdrawn from the courses they leave and must re-register for (and retake) any of the courses that are required upon their return. This will necessitate the repayment of tuition for those courses. Students on temporary withdrawal will not be classified as enrolled students by the University; however, they will be eligible for limited transitional services of the University Counseling Center, the Career Planning and Placement Center and have limited use of library facilities. For the purpose of internship, a pharmacy student on temporary withdrawal will be classified as an enrolled student by the School.
