Academic Year:
Students enrolled in a degree program who seek a leave of absence from the program for personal, medical, or professional reasons must first obtain written approval from the chair or graduate program coordinator of their instructional unit. The request and the recommendation from the department should be sent to the Office of Graduate and Professional Education for approval. The length of time needed for the leave should be indicated. Upon approval of the Office of Graduate and Professional Education, the student's academic transcript will record the approved leave in the appropriate semesters. The period of absence will not affect the limitation of time for completion of the degree requirements as given in the student's official letter of admission. The Office of Graduate and Professional Education will send written notification of the approval or denial of the requested leave.
The University reserves the right to change its policies, rules, regulations, requirements for graduation, course offerings and any other contents of this catalog at any time.
