If you are an undergraduate placed on warning, you should meet with your academic advisor as soon as possible to develop a plan for the next term. Check out the Learning Strategies website for help in strengthening your learning skills.
 
Undergraduates who are required to withdraw should also talk with their advisor about their options to take classes elsewhere during their leave and how to become academically prepared for their return to MIT. Additionally, your letter encourages you to set up an appointment with S^3 to help you plan for your time away and discuss readmission requirements.
 
If you are a graduate student who received a dean's warning that denies further registration, the first step is to meet with the graduate officer in your department who can clarify the appropriate course of action.  Graduate withdrawals are handled on an individual basis.

You should arrange a meeting with your academic advisor or thesis advisor to discuss your performance and academic progress. Your advisor can help you assess your approach to studying and reevaluate your schedule for the next term. Check out the Learning Strategies website for help in strengthening your learning skills.  Also, S^3 can help you sort out the underlying issues that may be impacting your ability to do well.

Undergraduate students returning from a voluntary, medical, required withdrawal, or from a leave of absence are required to complete a Readmission Application available from S^3. Call or stop by S^3 for help with the readmission process.
 
Graduate students returning from a medical withdrawal should visit Graduate Policies and Procedures to review the details of the readmission process.  Returning from any other type of leave of absence requires a Readmissions Application available in the Graduate Admissions Office.

While MIT Medical does not write “sick notes,” you should see a clinician there to get medical attention. Undergraduates should contact S^3 for official notification to their instructors, and help requesting extensions, etc.
 
Graduate students should contact the ODGE for advice.

Deciding whether to take time away from school can be a difficult decision. Undergraduates should talk with a counseling dean in S^3. If you decide to take time away, S^3 is the office that will arrange the leave and notify the appropriate offices.
 
Graduate students should talk with the graduate administrator or graduate officer in their department or, outside the department, with a dean in the ODGE.

Consult with the course instructor or teaching assistant who can inform you about your options.  Your academic advisor could also provide some guidance.  The Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programs (UAAP) offers advice and provides resources to support your academic success.  Additionally, the Tutuorial Services Room (TSR) offers free tutoring services to undergraduates. 
If you’re having trouble with your classes due to personal issues, contact Student Support Services (S^3) for private, confidential guidance.
