Leave of Absence Policy is an institutional rule setting the terms of an approved, temporary interruption of enrollment, including its maximum length and the expectation of a return.
What the catalog says
The catalog states: “The student must submit a written, signed, and dated request and provide an explanation as to the reason for the request, including, if possible, documentation.”
“Leave of absences must not exceed 180 calendar days in a 12-month period, or one half the program length, whatever period is a shorter duration.”
“The institution’s leave of absence policy allows the student to take multiple leaves, provided that the total number of days for the leave does not exceed the maximum allowed.”
“If a student does not resume attendance at the institution at or before the end of the leave of absence that meets the requirements, the institution will treat the student as a withdrawal.”
