Assistance for Students Facing Unforeseeable, Catastrophic Hardship or Medical Complications
The University of Tulsa works hard to offer special assistance to any student who faces unforeseeable, catastrophic personal hardship or medical complications and needs to seek full withdrawal from all classes. Students should contact Student Access immediately to discuss any assistance available and to receive information regarding support referrals, deadlines, documentation, conditions and other requirements to establish and retain eligibility for this support.
This type of assistance will not generally be granted on a retroactive basis, so students should talk with Student Access as soon as possible for help. Students are encouraged to obtain tuition insurance if the student has medical, psychological, or other conditions that might necessitate full withdrawal at some point.
Student Access is located in Hardesty Hall Holmes Student Center, 918-631-2315.
Student Accessibility FAQs
-
I am a student veteran and have questions concerning my documentation, what should I do?
Veterans who wish to request accommodations may make an appointment with a licensed nurse practitioner or physician at the Hurricane Health Center or a Student Access staff member to review documentation from the VA without submitting medical records in their entirety. Only relevant diagnoses for requested accommodations will be shared in order to make an accommodation request.

Are the Student Access forms for requesting accommodations required?
Please note that the forms for requesting accommodations serve as a guide only. A medical professional may submit their own reports or documents, as long as they contain adequate information to consider accommodation requests (such as diagnosis, functional limitations or recommended accommodations).
