Leave of Absence Policy 34 C.F.R. § 682.604 (C)(4), p. 98
LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY 34 C.F.R. § ~~682.604 (C)(4)~~668.22 (d)
To be eligible to apply for a leave of absence, a student must have completed one full semester at the school for credit hour programs. Students in the Professional Clinical Massage Therapy Diploma program must have completed one full pay period.
Procedure
Prior to taking a LOA, the student must provide a signed and dated official Leave of Absence Request with all required documentation to the Dean of Academic Affairs or Campus President (form available from the Dean of Academic Affairs or Campus President). The student must provide the reason for requesting the LOA and indicate their expected date of return to class. The student must have approval from the Dean of Academic Affairs prior to the start of the LOA. A student may make a single request for a non-contiguous leave of absence when the request is for the same reason such as a serious health problem requiring multiple treatments. ~~When requesting a Leave of Absence electronically, only a Southeastern College student Email address may be used.~~
Approval
A leave of absence may be granted at the sole discretion of the College if the College is able to determine that there is a reasonable expectation that the student will return to school following the LOA. If a LOA is not granted by the College, the student is required to register for and attend classes or withdraw from the program. A leave of absence may be granted for a period that does not exceed four modules (16-week maximum) and may include winter, summer, and spring breaks that immediately precede the scheduled return date. Generally, students are limited to one LOA in any a twelve-month period. However, a second LOA may be granted as long as the total number of days does not exceed four modules in any twelve-month period. Acceptable reasons for a LOA or a second LOA within a twelve-month period are jury duty, military duty, or circumstances such as those covered under the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). These circumstances are birth of a child, placement of a child with a student for adoption or foster care, student must care for spouse, child or parent with a serious illness, or a serious health condition of the student.
~~The USDOE is extending the maximum duration of a LOA to also include the number of additional days remaining in the calendar year for 2020 for students who are impacted by a COVID-19 related qualifying event. This flexibility includes students who are already on a LOA approved since the original flexibility was granted.~~  Southeastern College student’s wishing to extend their LOA should contact the Academic Dean or Campus President to discuss their options. Approved LOA requests will delay progression to the professional core, or graduation. Students will be given an estimate of those changes by the school administration.
