INCAPACITATION |
|
| |
1.1 |
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
allows a currently enrolled student, as a result of a prolonged illness
or a serious incapacitating injury, to be administratively withdrawn
from the University. The student should request this action in writing
through the Office of Student Affairs. After receiving confirmation
in writing from a competent authority (e.g., attending physician,
licensed psychologist/psychiatrist, etc.), the Office of Student Affairs
takes the following steps:
(1) Notifies the appropriate faculty, academic dean, and the Provost.
(2) Notifies the Office of Admissions and Records to set all grades
for the current term to a non-punitive mark of “W.”
(3) Notifies the Business Office to determine if a refund is applicable.
State laws set the criteria for granting refunds.
(4) Notifies the Financial Assistance Office if the student is a recipient
of financial assistance. |

1.2 |
A severely incapacitated student who was
unable to request administrative withdrawal during the semester in
which the illness or accident occurred may request that grades for
that semester be changed to a nonpunitive mark of “W.” The
time limit for making this request is the end of the next long semester. |
