Withdrawals and Leaves

A leave of absence from all classes may be granted by the Associate Dean for Student Affairs or appropriate campus agent. Any request for such a leave must be in writing and must state the reasons on which the request is based.

If the student withdraws or a leave of absence is approved, the following record will appear on the student's transcript:

1. If the LOA or withdrawal occurs within the first week of a Phase I block (ACE) or module (legacy) or the first week of a clinical clerkship (Year Three or Year Four), the enrollment is cancelled without reflection on the student's permanent record (transcript).
2. After the first week of the block (ACE) or module (Legacy) (Year One or Year Two) or after the first week of a clinical clerkship (Year Three or Year Four), the student will receive a notation of W (withdrawal) on their permanent record (transcript).
