Administrative Leave of Absence

Notwithstanding any other policy, the University reserves the right to place a student on administrative leave in response to instances of disruptive or other behavior that interferes with University community well-being in the judgment of Palo Alto University. Where the University believes that the behavior may be caused by, or related to, psychological or other health issues, PAU may require a mandatory independent medical evaluation, temporary or indefinite withdrawal, and/or other administrative action as deemed appropriate by the circumstances of the individual situation. Such action must be approved by the Provost/Chief Academic Officer or their designee, with possible consultation by others. The University may require documentation in order for the student to return to active status.
