Circumstances may arise that make students unable to continue their enrollment as a UToledo student. If the timing of this occurs after the first day of the term or any point prior to finals weeks, students may initiate the withdrawal process to formally discontinue their enrollment at UToledo.  View Add/Drop/Withdraw deadlines.

Medical Withdrawal

The student may initiate medical withdrawal process when a student’s health or wellbeing prevents continued enrollment or the student cannot complete the semester due to a medical reason.  Learn more about medical withdrawal at the Registrar's Application for Medical Withdrawal page.


Report a Concern

The Rocket Care Report is used to connect UToledo community members with help and resources to ensure wellbeing and a safe learning environment for all. If you are experiencing a tough situation that may affect your academics and wellbeing, you may submit a Rocket Care Report on behalf of yourself. The Rocket Care Report is also used to inform The University of Toledo personnel about any inappropriate behavior or suspicious activity that may threaten our community. Any student, faculty, staff, parent, or family member may submit a Rocket Care Report.  Submit a Rocket Care Report.

Emergency Notification Process 

  • When a student is absent from school due to a crisis or unexpected situation and unable to contact their individual instructors directly, the Center for Advocacy and Student Experience can send out a Faculty Notification.  
  • It is, however, the student’s responsibility to also notify the instructor, if possible, and to connect with the instructor upon returning to the university. The faculty notification asks for the student to be excused from class for a period and asks instructors to allow students to make up missed coursework.  
  • Situations where a faculty notification is issued: 
    • Medical (hospitalization, injury/illness, surgery) 
    • Mental Health (Psychiatric Unit, ZEPF Center) 
    • Death of a family/friend 
    • Unexpected travel  
  • Situations where a faculty notification is not issued:  
    • Non-emergency situation 
    • One-day absence (doctor/dentist appointment) 
    • Missing class due to flat tire, oversleeping, etc.  
    • We encourage you to work with your instructor and notify them as soon as you become aware of potential absences.  
  • We encourage you to build rapport with your instructors and communicate as often as necessary. CASE involvement should not eliminate direct contact between faculty and student. Communicate needs and absences to instructors as soon as you become aware. If you have already contacted your instructors, and your instructors are willing to work with you, there is no need to contact CASE for a faculty notification 
  • Please note that documentation is required to issue a letter to faculty.
