Leave of Absence
A non-academic leave may be granted by the Dean of Students because of medical, financial, personal, family, or other problems that are best treated away from Cornell. A student who takes an approved leave of absence is not considered to have withdrawn from Cornell. For information on requesting a leave of absence for the purpose of participation in off-campus study programs not affiliated with Cornell, see . The College will not accept credits by transfer (other than summer school) while a student is on leave unless approved in advance by the Academic Standing Committee. A leave of absence is approved if
- the student has made a written request to the Dean
of Students;
- the Dean of Students has determined that there is a reasonable
expectation the student will return from the leave, and has granted
written approval;
- the leave of absence does not exceed 180 calendar days; and
- Cornell has granted only one leave of absence to the student in any 12-month period (defined as 12 months from the first day of the approved leave of absence). Multiple leaves within the 12-month period are permissible for military reasons or circumstances covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
If a student's leave is not approved, the student is considered to have
withdrawn from the institution, and Cornell's withdrawal policy applies
(see ``Withdrawal from the College''). Also, a student who does not
return to Cornell within 60 calendar days after beginning her or his
approved leave will be automatically withdrawn from the College.
Students currently receiving financial aid who plan to request a leave of absence should consult the Office of Financial Assistance before making any decisions.
