LEAVES AND WITHDRAWALS

There are many reasons why undergraduate students may need or wish to take time away from the Institute.   There may be personal or medical issues interfering with their academics; opportunities for professional experience, such as an internship; family or community commitments; or the desire to just take a break.  

The counseling deans in S^3 are available to talk with you about your situation, and to guide you through the process of taking time away, and returning.    Before leaving the Institute, you should have a clear understanding of what is required before requesting readmission.   Call or stop by the S^3 office to arrange an appointment with a counseling dean.

Consultation with a counseling dean is required for the following:

Voluntary Withdrawal/Leave of Absence   A Voluntary Withdrawal or Leave of Absence may be appropriate for a student wishing to take time away for any non-medically related reason.

Medical Withdrawal   A Medical Withdrawal is appropriate when medical issues are interfering with a student's ability to participate fully in campus life.

Required Withdrawal   A Required Withdrawal is an action by the Committee on Academic Performance
