Leave of Absence
Students wanting to take a leave of absence from Richmont for a Fall or Spring semester must complete the Leave of Absence Form available from the Records Office or the Richmont website. A Leave of Absence form must be submitted to the Records Office each semester the student is absent from the institution. Failure to submit a Leave of Absence form to the Records Office will result in the student being withdrawn from the institution for non-attendance.
Students may take a maximum of two leaves of absences during their time at Richmont. A leave of absence can only be taken if the student is not enrolled prior to the start date of the semester or drops his/her courses by the last day of the add/drop deadline. Students may take a leave of absence for two consecutive semesters, up to one year, without needing to reapply to the institution. A Leave of Absence Form is not required for students choosing to not attend during a summer semester. If a leave of absence is granted, any outstanding student status or requirement placed on a student (such as SAP Warning, Academic Probation, Improvement Plans, Conditional Acceptance, etc.) will continue once the student enrolls in coursework again.
