In advance of your leave of absence appointment, you may fill out this form to bring with you. Learn more about our Leaves of Absence policies on the Taking Time Away webpage.
Students who have been withdrawn from the College or who have been on leave of absence for more than 8 quarters, except as otherwise provided for in this policy (see Leaves of Absence) are required to submit a completed Petition to Resume Studies along with supporting materials eight weeks prior to the start of the quarter of intended return. The petition will be reviewed by the Committee on the Resumption of Studies, which will exercise reasoned judgment in deciding whether the resumption of studies is appropriate. The results of the review will be timely communicated in writing to the student upon completion of the review. The College is not obliged to approve student resumption petitions. The decision of the Committee on the Resumption of Studies is final and unreviewable.
In cases where a student’s leave involves medical conditions, the resumption of studies is contingent upon the condition being resolved or managed successfully. In order to protect the student’s privacy, the Dean of Students (or designee) will consider germane medical and other information available, including information provided in a timely manner by the student, before the petition is forwarded to the Academic Standing Committee. See the Resuming Studies webpage for more information. Upon return, students are expected to complete the requirements for the degree without further interruption.
This form must be completed and approved by the department before a minor can be officially declared. The form is due by the end of the student's third year.
