Student Health & Safety Resources

In cases involving health-related emergencies (physical or psychological), OU may take appropriate action to protect the health and safety of the individual student and of the campus. Such action may include restriction from campus until the situation is addressed as well as notification of the student’s family. This can also include a voluntary or administrative medical withdrawal. Students will receive written notification of the decision to invoke an administrative medical withdrawal; these students must complete the re-enrollment process prior to enrolling in subsequent coursework.

Re-enrollment Process
Students who have received a voluntary or administrative medical withdrawal due to a mental health condition may request re-enrollment by:

1. Submitting to the Dean of Students office a Request for Re-enrollment form with supporting documentation completed by a licensed mental health professional.
2. Once the completed form and supporting documentation have been submitted, the student must schedule a meeting with the Dean of Students office to review his/her request.
   

Prior to granting re-enrollment, the Dean of Students office may consult with appropriate OU officials necessary to assess whether the student is qualified and ready to resume academic work and campus life. Any decision must consider not only the psychological stability of the student, but also the broader emotional impact and safety of the campus community. The student will receive written notification of the decision from the Dean of Students office.

University policy prohibits illegal discrimination. Discriminatory conduct or discriminatory harassment is behavior, including but not limited to sexual advances or requests for sexual favors, and any written behavior, including pictorial illustrations, graffiti or written material, that stigmatizes or victimizes an individual on the basis of race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, height, weight, disability, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, marital status, familial status, veteran status, or other characteristics protected by federal and state law.

Time Limits for All Types of Concerns
In the interest of fairness to all parties, a complaint should be filed as soon as possible to assist in obtaining the facts related to the complaint. For this reason, a complaint generally will not be processed unless it is filed no later than sixty (60) days after the student became aware or should have become aware of the incident leading to the complaint. However, the University may waive the 60-day rule based upon the facts and circumstances of the complaint and after giving due consideration to the protection of the rights of both the complainant and the respondent.
