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 A student who takes an approved non-academic leave of absence is not considered to have withdrawn from Cornell. For information on requesting an academic leave of absence for the purpose of participation in off-campus study programs not affiliated with Cornell, see . A non-academic 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 non-academic 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).
During the term of a leave of absence, students surrender the privileges of regularly enrolled students, and are, therefore, not permitted to live in College housing, use College facilities, or to participate in any Cornell-sponsored extracurricular activities in ways that are not also open to the general public. Students on a non-academic leave of absence may not enroll at other institutions.
If a student's leave is not approved, the student is considered to have withdrawn from the institution, and Cornell's withdrawal policy applies (see ``Withdrawal from the College'').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who does not return to Cornell within 180 calendar days after beginning her or his approved leave will be automatically withdrawn from the College.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.
