28 Nova Southeastern University Student Handbook return from—an LOA may have a significant impact on a student’s ability to procure future financial aid and may result in the student being placed into a loan repayment status with the student’s lender pursuant to applicable federal regulations. An LOA request must be submitted at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the semester/term for the leave. Leaves requested after the semester/term has begun will be considered for approval only in a documented extreme circumstance. An approved LOA may be granted for up to 180 days within a 12-month period. For more details, including the Leave of Absence Request Form, visit the Office of the University Registrar’s website at nova.edu/registrar /policies/leave-of-absence-policy. ADMINISTRATIVE BREAK IN ENROLLMENT An administrative break in enrollment is a temporary, institution-initiated pause in enrollment granted exclusively to graduate and professional students enrolled in lockstep, cohort-based programs. This category of leave allows students to separate from their program, without formally withdrawing from the university, in cases where continuity of the program is impacted by exceptional personal or academic challenges. Undergraduate students are not eligible for administrative breaks in enrollment, except for specific lockstep, cohort-based professional programs. A.11 International Travel Registration Requirement and Program NSU faculty and staff members and students travel across the globe to teach, conduct research, present at seminars and workshops, attend conferences, and study. The university maintains a central international travel registration program that assists travelers on NSU-related business or study. It provides assessment of health and safety issues associated with traveling to international destinations, and it supplies important contact information for services and assistance in the event of an emergency. As per university policy, all faculty and staff members and students traveling to international destinations on NSU-related trips are required to complete the NSU Travel Registration process. A.12 Jurisdiction of University Policies and Procedures All students attending NSU shall be subject to this code. The term “students” includes any individual enrolled in a course or academic program offered by NSU, whether in a degree-seeking program or not, including during any periods of inactivity in enrollment, such as during leaves of absences or temporary lapses in registration. Students may be held accountable through this code when a violation is reported, regardless of whether such act occurred on or off campus, or in connection with an NSU-sponsored or affiliated event. A.13 Off-Campus Residency The university does not approve, inspect, or supervise any off-campus student residences. The university does expect, however, that students living off campus will conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect credit on themselves and the university, which includes observing all local, state, and federal laws as well as all rules and regulations contained in this handbook. In the event of a change of residence from on-campus housing to an off-campus location, a student should notify the Office of the University Registrar of the new address.
