Student Success and Wellness Plan
At Pitzer, we care about the well-being and success of students in and out of the classroom. During times that a student may be struggling with their wellness, The Pitzer Case Management Team may provide a student with a Student Success and Wellness Plan (SSWP) outlining a particular course of action in collaboration with the student.
Depending on the student’s individualized needs and situation, some students may require more intensive options such as short-term care (wellness checks and temporary hospitalization) or long-term care (leave of absence or withdrawal from the College). In most cases, the Pitzer Care team will work with a student and/or the student’s family to arrange a collaborative plan for short-term and long-term care. In certain limited cases, based upon an individualized assessment, a student may be withdrawn from the College involuntarily under the authority of the Dean.
