The leave must be for one semester only. The student may not attend another university while on leave. If the student is suspended for academic reasons, the leave is automatically canceled. The student should be referred to the Dean of Students Office, Schofield 240, to fill out a simple form. Students on financial aid must meet with a financial aid officer to determine the implications of their time out of school.
Advisers receive a copy of the completed form.
Instructors may initiate an Incomplete on a student's behalf only with prior approval of the Dean of the School in which the course is taught. The deadline for the instructor to report the removal of the incomplete is the end of the tenth week of classes of the first regular semester following the granting of the Incomplete. An instructor can authorize an extension into the next semester. If the Incomplete is not removed by the deadline, the default grade listed on the incomplete form will be recorded as the permanent grade. An Incomplete disqualifies a student from the Vice Chancellor's Academic Distinction List and the School or College Dean's List.
