The deadlines for requesting a leave of absence are November
1 for a leave which begins in the spring semester and March
1 for a leave which begins in the fall semester. Students are
encouraged to apply for a leave even if they are awaiting word
of their acceptance to a specific program. Students who are
granted a leave are expected to reconfirm their return date
by writing to the Dean of Students (non-academic) or the Registrar
(academic) no later than November 1 for a return in the spring
and March 1 for a return in the fall. Students who fail to reconfirm
will have their preregistration canceled, and they will be withdrawn
formally from the College. Finally, students who are granted
leaves which include the spring semester have the option of
pre-registering by mail.
On formal application to one of the deans, a non-academic
leave of absence will be considered for one of the
following reasons:
Financial or personal emergency. Students who find it
necessary to interrupt their education because of financial
considerations are expected to contact the Dean of
Students and to present evidence in support of their
request for a financial leave. In the case of personal
emergencies such as illness or family crisis, the Dean
of Students should be consulted. A student on personal
leave of absence is expected not to attend another
college or university. If unusual circumstances warrant
attendance, credit will not be accepted unless prior
approval has been received from the Dean in consultation
with the Registrar. On formal application to the Registrar, an academic
leave of absence will be considered for one of the
following reasons:
ACM programs, Washington Semester, Kansai Gaidai, and
Manchester Program as these are an official part of
the Colorado College curriculum. In addition, students
planning to study abroad should apply for a Leave of
Absence in the Registrar's Office, and Study Abroad
programs must be approved by the Office of International
Programs. Students who apply must request a leave of
absence from the Registrar prior to the deadlines for
requesting a leave. The College cannot guarantee a
leave to those students who apply late or are accepted
late by these programs.
