Reference to the Student Handbook for specific deadlines is encouraged. These forms are available from the Director of Admissions. A student who wishes to take a leave of absence must request this in writing from the Academic Dean. In any twelve-month period, a student may be granted no more than one leave, and ordinarily it may not extend beyond six months. A student who does not return at the end of a Leave of Absence will be considered withdrawn from the College, and this withdrawal will be effective as of the beginning date of the Leave of Absence.
Withdrawal becomes official only after the appropriate forms have been completed.
During the probationary period, students are expected to use the services of the College Learning Resource Center. Students, who fail to raise their cumulative average by the end of the probationary period, may be subject to academic dismissal. Students who do not maintain a grade of C in core subjects will be placed on departmental probation. Students who are on probation for two consecutive semesters will be dismissed from the program. Program dismissal does not necessarily imply dismissal from the College.
