The university-initiated temporary medical withdrawal process begins when the Dean of Students Office receives information indicating that a student appears to have demonstrated behavior consistent with one or more of the criteria listed above. In many instances, this information will come from the Student Care Team, which will have conducted an individualized threat assessment in accordance with its established procedures and determined that the student has demonstrated behavior consistent with one or more of the criteria listed above.
If, after reviewing the information received, the Dean of Students Office initially determines that the information indicates that the student has demonstrated behavior consistent with one or more of the criteria listed above, the Dean of Students Office will inform the student of the following in writing:
- That the Dean of Student Office has made an initial determination based on available information that the student has demonstrated behavior consistent with one or more of the criteria listed above (with the specific criterion or criteria identified).
- That the university is initiating a process pursuant to this university-initiated temporary medical withdrawal process (with a copy of or link to the process).
- That the student is required to have a meeting with the Dean of Students Office to discuss potential next steps, including the possibility of a university-initiated temporary medical withdrawal or alterations in a student's ability to fully participate in certain programs, services, or activities at DePaul. The Dean of Students Office will attempt to schedule this meeting within one (1) business day of the student receiving this initial notification.
- That the student may bring an Advisor to this meeting, or any other meeting or conversation that is part of this process, as further detailed above.
- Any interim restrictions, as further explained below.
