University of Virginia Library

RESIDENCE AND ATTENDANCE

Attendance - Students are required to attend classes throughout the session, with the exception
of University holidays, and of absences authorized by the Student Health Service for illness or
injury, unless permission to be absent temporarily or to withdraw has been first granted by the
Dean of the School concerned. While in residence, students are required to attend lectures and
other prescribed exercises of the courses for which they are registered, subject to penalties which
the various Schools may impose for non-attendance.

Change of Address - Each student is required to notify the University Registrar of any change of
home address, change of the name or address of parent or guardian, or change of his or her legal name.
When a student's legal name is changed, the student must provide the Registrar with a certified copy
of applicable documents authorizing such change.

All students not living in University Housing are required to notify the Registrar of any change
of local address within 48 hours of such change.

Voluntary Withdrawal - An official application to withdraw must be obtained from the Dean of the School
in which the student is registered, and must be approved in writing by the Dean, with a statement of
the reason for the withdrawal. A student under 21 years of age must have parental approval for such
withdrawal. To clear the student's record, the application must then be endorsed by the Dean of the
University, the University Librarian, the Bursar, the Student Health Service, the Housing Division
(if living in University Housing), and a representative of the Honor Committee and the Judiciary Committee.
A woman student must further obtain the endorsement of the Dean of Women. When complete, the
withdrawal form must be deposited with the University Registrar. Student identification cards are to
be deposited with the Registrar at the time of withdrawal.

A student who withdraws from the University for reasons of ill health must obtain permission from
the Department of Student Health, and subsequent medical clearance from the Department of Student
Health is among the requirements for re-admission of all students.

Failure to comply with the above regulations will subject the student to suspension from the University
by the Dean of the University.

Enforced Withdrawal - The several faculties of the Schools may impose enforced withdrawal as a
penalty for habitual delinquency in class, habitual idleness, or any other fault which prevents the
student from fulfilling the purposes implied by registration in the University.

Enforced withdrawal may also be imposed for failure to take the physical examination of the University
Student Health Service (required of all entering students), for failure to comply with the University's
Tuberculosis Control Program, for failure to obtain Medical Leave or Medical Withdrawal from
the Health Service in the case of repeated or prolonged absence from class, as a result of illness.
