A student whose academic and
field work is in good standing may apply to the Associate
Dean for a leave of absence on an individual basis at any
point in the educational continuum. During the field work
session, such requests should be made for a specific reason,
and after consultation by the student with the student's Faculty
Field Advisor and supervisor.
The Academic and Field Work Performance Standing Committee
may also mandate a leave of absence, and the Committee must
decide whether the transcript will read Mandatory Leave or
Leave. If a student refuses the mandatory leave it is up to
the Committee to decide whether to dismiss the student or
to allow him/her to withdraw.
No partial credit shall be given for incomplete field work.
Normally a student granted a leave must meet the program requirements
of the class to which she or he is readmitted.
Students may petition for a leave not to exceed a total period
of three years, with the understanding that the School will
evaluate the situation on an individual basis. A student extending
leave beyond the approved period will be considered to have
withdrawn from the School, and reinstatement will be subject
to the procedures governing withdrawal.
A written request for leave, detailing the reason, must be
sent to the Dean or Associate Dean. If a student plans to
return to the program following completion of the leave, a
written request for reinstatement must be received by the
Dean or Associate Dean by March 1 of the year of the leave
in which the student wishes to return to the program. The
request for reinstatement must be accompanied by a statement
from the student describing the period of leave. Approval
of reinstatement will be made by the Dean or Associate Dean
on the basis of congruence between the reason for the leave
and the student statement of accounting.
