Medical Underload
*Please keep in mind that Medical Underloads can only be accepted within two weeks of the first day of class. Any requests for a Medical Underload outside that time frame would be considered a Medical Course Drop Request.
Medical Underload Process
- Consult with Academic Advising to see if a Medical Underload is appropriate.
- Email Andrew Brennick at andrewbr@email.unc.edu to formally request a Medical Underload.
- Request should include the following:
- Address your request to “Whom It May Concern”
- Acknowledge that you have met with Academic Advising
- How the medical condition has affected your coursework
- How many credit hours you are looking to take with the underload
- Request should include the following:
- In addition to the email, please have appropriate documentation from your treating health care provider about the medical condition affecting your academic progress. This documentation should…
- Contain information about your diagnosis, prognosis, and length of illness.
- Be submitted either by fax to Campus Health at 919-966-6575 or email to Andrew Brennick.
*If you were seen by a Campus Health provider, you will not need to submit this documentation since we have access to your health records at Campus Health.
- Once all paperwork has been received (email and documentation from the treating provider), it will be submitted to our Medical Director.
- If the paperwork is approved by our Medical Director, it will be sent to Academic Advising.
