Medical Withdrawals
Student who wish to pursue a Medical Withdrawal should click HERE for information regarding this process. Medical withdrawals provide a pro rata refund of tuition and fees, and have conditions that must be met prior to re-enrollment at SMU. Medical withdrawals can only be authorized by a licensed physician or psychologist/ counselor in the ÃÛÌÒ½´Health Center. The University does not grant retroactive medical withdrawals. The last day you can request a medical withdrawal is the last day to withdraw for the term you are requesting to withdraw. If you are living in ÃÛÌÒ½´housing, you must check out of your residence hall with Residence Life and Student Housing per established procedures.
Medical withdrawals and mandatory administrative withdrawals allow a prorated refund of tuition and fees that is calculated using a daily percentage rate. The rate is used in conjunction with the number of remaining instruction days as outlined on the academic calendar for each respective career and/or program.
Regular Withdrawals

Please refer to the Tuition and General Student Fees Schedule for Regular Withdrawals/Cancellation tabs for the refund schedule.
