Medical Deferment

The medical deferment is used to help students deal with medical issues that prevent attendance during an assigned semester. Consecutive deferments are usually not allowed.

Medical deferments must be submitted before the last day to drop classes without receiving grades earned. To verify this date for the current semester, please contact the Student Records and Registration Office at (208) 496-1000.
