Administrative Break in Enrollment An administrative break in enrollment may be voluntary or may be imposed by the dean. Students who wish to request an administrative break in enrollment must complete the Administrative Break Request Form and include supporting documentation. If the program director or chair supports the request, the program director or chair will send the request to the associate dean of Student Affairs for review. Students will be responsible for understanding the impact of the leave on financial aid, health insurance, housing, etc. Administrative breaks in enrollment may lead to delays in graduation, additional tuition and fees, and other financial or academic adjustments. If the student is not able to complete the term, the student may be able to withdraw from the class or receive an incomplete grade, depending on the student’s status in the course. After review of a student’s request for administrative break in enrollment, the associate dean will inform the program director or chair whether it is approved or denied. If the administrative break in enrollment is approved, the academic program director or chair will inform the student, in writing, of the terms and conditions of the administrative break in enrollment and subsequent return to the program. Students are expected to adhere to these terms and conditions, or they may risk disenrollment from the program. While on an administrative break in enrollment, a student is not eligible to attend any academic or cocurricular activities. If the administrative break in enrollment is denied, the program representative will inform the student that the request has been denied. Refer to page 28 for institutional definition of administrative break in enrollment. President’s List Students receiving a 3.8 GPA or higher are placed on the President’s List for that semester.
