Policy Statement

In the event of extenuating circumstances, a student may request one Leave of Absence in writing from the School of Leadership. Pending Dean approval, the student will be allowed a maximum leave of absence of two semesters (summer semester included). A student who remains inactive for longer than two semesters must reapply to the program. Special accommodations will be extended for military deployments.


Failure to follow this policy may lead to disciplinary action.
