Petitions must include the reasons for the request as well as the exact semester the students wish to return to the College. A leave of absence may not be for longer than three years.
Approved leaves are conditional upon successful completion of the semester in progress.
Students petitioning a leave of two or more years may be subject to amended general education or major requirements. While on a leave, students may take pre-approved courses for transfer to CMC at another institution. Students on leave who wish to transfer in credit to CMC must consult closely with the Registrar to guarantee their work is transferable. Leaves of absence must be requested by August 1 for the Fall semester and January 1 for the Spring semester. This deposit is non-refundable but can be applied toward tuition if the student returns to the College as scheduled in the petition.
