Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) 2024–2025 112 4. Communication with the ACON During a Leave of Absence/Administrative Break in Enrollment A student who is on an LOA or an administrative break in enrollment must communicate every two months with the program director for the duration of the LOA/administrative break in enrollment. This communication is initiated by the student and occurs during the first week of every other month, starting with the month following the onset of the LOA/administrative break in enrollment. Failure to report may result in the student being referred to the CSP for disciplinary action. 5. Return from Administrative Break in Enrollment If the student was under review for a disciplinary action prior to the request for leave or administrative break in enrollment, the student may not resume the program without appearing before the CSP. Upon completion of its review, the CSP will make a recommendation to the dean as to whether the student may resume the program. If appropriate, a student may resume the program with a disciplinary action imposed on the student at the beginning of the resumption for a stated period. All decisions made by the dean concerning a student’s ability to return following an administrative break in enrollment are final. If the student is not in good academic standing at the time of the administrative break in enrollment, a committee composed of administrative committee members will review the student’s record and make a recommendation to the dean as to whether the student may resume the program. 6. Leave of Absence Records Leave of absence records and the date of each determination shall be placed in the student’s academic record.
