Medical Leave of Absence (MLOA)
Students may apply for a medical leave of absence if they cannot continue enrollment due to medical reasons. The eligibility, length of leave, tuition and fee reversal and procedures are the same as above under the subheading “Leave of Absence” except for the requirements to request a MLOA and return after a MLOA.
Requesting a MLOA and Returning to the university after a MLOA
Students must provide documentation from a healthcare provider to validate the need for medical leave.
At least two weeks prior to their return date, students must provide a medical release from a healthcare provider. The release documentation must include that the student is:
- permitted to return to the university,
- capable of resuming academic studies, and
- able to meet the program’s requirements.
Students who do not provide a medical release from the same healthcare provider who validated the medical leave will be administratively withdrawn from the university after the last day to add/drop in the quarter in which they return.
**This policy will be reviewed and revised as necessary to ensure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations and to ensure the health and well-being of students.
