Student Leaves of Absence

With the exception of students who have been dismissed from the School, any student may apply to the Academic Standards Committee for a Leave of Absence. The maximum Leave of Absence the Committee has authority to approve is two (2) semesters.

If the student fails to register with the School after one (1) year on leave, he or she is dropped from the rolls of the School and must reapply to the School through the Admissions Office. In such cases, the student will be competing against that year's applicant pool and must follow the guidelines as stated for advanced Standing.
