College of Dental Medicine (CDM)—Predoctoral Program 2025–2026 112 Administrative Break in Enrollment An administrative break in enrollment may be voluntary or may be imposed by the dean. A student requesting a voluntary administrative break in enrollment must complete the proper paperwork obtained from the CDM Office of Student Services. Additionally, a student must meet with a counselor in the NSU Office of Student Financial Assistance to establish the parameters of the financial aid. The financial aid of a student on an administrative break in enrollment will be adjusted accordingly, which may require a return of previously disbursed money. A student will not be able to obtain financial aid during an administrative break in enrollment regardless of the reason for the administrative break in enrollment. During an administrative break in enrollment, the student must follow the prescribed instructions and requirements associated with the administrative break in enrollment and, if applicable, complete rehabilitation or treatment for the reason that precipitated the necessity for the administrative break in enrollment. Any administrative break in enrollment may result in an I or withdrawal from the course. To resume the program, the student may be required to meet with the SPC and show that the preestablished instructions and requirements have been met and that the student shows reasonable likelihood that previous problem(s) will not recur. The SPC will make a recommendation to the dean as to whether the student may resume the program. Refer to page 28 for institutional definition of administrative break in enrollment. Course Status During an Administrative Break in Enrollment An administrative break in enrollment cannot exceed one year, either cumulatively or within a single administrative break in enrollment, during the student’s D.M.D. program. If the student does not return within one year, the student will automatically be considered to have voluntarily withdrawn from the college. The specific time frame of an administrative break in enrollment is dependent on the ability of the student to return to the program to keep up with coursework on the appropriate continuum, which will be determined by the program administration. While on an administrative break in enrollment, a student is not eligible to make up incomplete class work or remediate any failed courses. If an administrative break in enrollment is granted and the student is in good academic standing, the student may reenter the program at the end of the break without any need for readmission. However, the student may be required to meet any new requirement(s) that may become effective during the administrative break in enrollment. If a student is granted an administrative break in enrollment in which the break commences while current coursework is still in progress, a designation of withdrawal (W) may be entered on the student’s transcript for each course in progress. In such cases of withdrawal from courses, students will be required to successfully complete all these courses when they return from their administrative break in enrollment and before they will be permitted to progress into the next academic year or semester, appropriate to the curricular cycle. If a student is granted an administrative break in enrollment in which the break commences after a course has been completed, the student’s earned grade or earned
