Care and Support Services provides support and resources for students through a variety of administrative processes led by our administrative team
Withdrawing and Returning from the University
CASS completes one of the administrative steps in both the withdrawal and reenrollment processes for students in partnership with academic affairs and the University Registrar. CASS approves the ‘Leaving the University’ and ‘Returning to the University’ forms in SIS. Students are not required to meet with CASS to complete a withdrawal or return, but are welcome to request a meeting for any questions or supportive resources. To schedule a call or meeting about these processes, email us at [email protected] or call (434)-924-7133.
Withdrawing
While your form is being processed, you will receive a message from CASS which outlines reminders, resources, and suggestions related to withdraws. You are not required to respond to this message, but we recommend you save it and share it with your support network for future reference.
Returning
If returning from a personal, military service, or academic withdrawal, CASS will automatically approve your Returning to the University form in SIS once approved by academic support. If returning from a medical or health-related withdrawal, CASS will approve your Returning to the University form once we receive confirmation from Student Health and Wellness (Counseling and Psychological Services or Medical Services) that you have fully completed the return process through the HealthyHoos platform. More information about this process can be found on our withdrawal and reenrollment site.

Education Abroad
Students who apply for an education abroad opportunity through or with the University are subject to review by CASS. If CASS has information about health or safety plans while studying abroad, the student will receive messaging from both CASS and ISO about meeting with CASS. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss your plans, and review resources to mitigate potential concerns related to your success while abroad.
Students who have received a message from CASS requesting a meeting, should use the information in the email signature to schedule a meeting. If you have questions about scheduling, you may also call CASS at (434)-924-7133. If you have questions about the Education Abroad application process, please contact the International Studies Office at (434)-982-3010
Educational Records
CASS may play a role in assisting students with their educational record depending on the nature of the records request. To learn more about educational records, including academic records, personal information, enrollment verification, transcripts, and students’ rights under FERPA, visit the University Registrar’s page. Per the University’s policy STU-002: Rights of Students at the University of Virginia Pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students who wish to review their Education Records must submit a request in writing to the official custodian of the record. Students who do not know the identity of the official custodian for the requested records may submit a request to the dean of their school. To the extent possible, students should specify the exact type, source, and date of the Education Record they wish to inspect and review.
