Involuntary Leave of Absence
Under certain circumstances involving academic or professional deficiencies or other concerns, the PMSEPC may place a student on an involuntary LOA for a period of one month or longer, not to exceed one year.
If it is determined that a student is a threat to themselves or others, and/or the student could pose other safety issues, the Dean of the SOPM, the Director of Student Services, and/or the chair of the PMSEPC have the right to place that student on immediate involuntary LOA, with the PMSEPC review to take place after this decision and immediate action. Based on the situation, the PMSEPC will determine further actions.
A recommended plan for that student’s LOA and possible return will be developed by the PMSEPC and given to the student. If conditions have been set for a student’s eligibility to return from an involuntary LOA, the student must demonstrate satisfaction of the conditions prior to the return date. Registration for the term of return is solely the responsibility of the student and he/she/they must contact the Assistant Registrar if any issues arise in this regard.
