Leave of Absence

Leave of absence in good standing may be granted for a variety of reasons to students wishing to interrupt their studies at Fisk and request time away from the University. Students seeking leave of absence for a specified period must obtain the withdrawal form from the Office of the Registrar. Upon approval by the Provost, the student must specify a time period during which the leave of absence will be valid. Upon conclusion of the leave or at any time thereafter, the student may return by making formal application for re-admission. Students who depart from the University without obtaining the permission of the Provost may be denied permission to re-enter. Students on leave of absence will not be granted credit for college work done out of residence, unless they have received prior approval from the Provost. A student who takes absence in good standing receives grades according to normal Fisk grading practices.
