As a student you may encounter circumstances where it is necessary or advisable to temporarily take a step back from your studies due to medical necessity or in order to attend to family needs, work, travel, or gain a fresh perspective on your intellectual commitments, career plans, or educational priorities. The College encourages students to carefully consider their situations, to clarify their objectives, consult with college advisors, and to evaluate whether they should temporarily interrupt their studies. Listed below are the temporary absence policies to consider.
Medical issues, both physical and mental, encountered by students, may require that they remain away from the College for more than a short term absence of two weeks.
