Requirements While Temp. Withdrawn

The EXITO program is dedicated to allowing for Scholars to disengage with EXITO during temporary withdrawal if that is what they need. However, that must be balanced with the need to keep lines of communication open between the Scholar and the program. There are a lot factors (specific to your circumstanced) that need to be considered when temporary withdrawing. However, it can be really helpful for Scholars. Be sure to read the offboarding email, keep communication with EXITO, and reach out to discuss temporary withdrawal if you are considering it

• Quick check in with EXITO (email or short meeting with EXITO Advisor)

  • Scholars should update their term of planned return

  • Scholars should let EXITO know if they need any support

  • EXITO will let them know if there are any requirements for their term of withdrawal and any information about returning to the program

  • Must happen in the first 4 weeks of each term

• Notify EXITO of their return in a timely manner

  • For Scholars in PY1 or Scholars in PY2/3 with an PSU placement they are required to notify EXITO 4 weeks before the return term.

  • For Scholars in PY2/3 with an OHSU placement, they are required to notify EXITO 6 weeks before the return term since the badging process takes weeks to complete. Any additional requirements based on the terms the Scholar is withdrawn for.

• Review the offboarding email EXITO sends after notification of temp. withdrawal.

Resident Tuition and Temp. Withdrawal

Non-resident transfer Scholars from BUILD institutions (e.g., Clark, NMC, ASCC, UoG, UAA). BUILD Trainees who transfer from BUILD EXITO institutions will be assessed RESIDENT tuition rate even if they are non-residents. Trainees will have this benefit as long as they are active in the program and for two years after program completion (undergrad only).

• If a Scholar is planning for a one term only temp. withdrawal then they can retain the EXITO Resident tuition for the withdrawn term. When this occurs, the Scholar will not have access to the one term of resident tuition post program completion. If they extend their withdrawal then they will lose resident tuition until they return to the program.

• If the Scholar is planning on a temp. withdrawal of 2+ terms, they will lose resident tuition until they return to the program.
