7.4 Leave of Absence

Upon completion of an Academic year, a student with Clear Promotion may elect to withdraw temporarily from studies. Voluntary withdrawal at other times and for other reasons may be permitted in accordance with University Regulations (Undergraduate), Registration. In all cases, the intent to withdraw voluntarily should be discussed with the Dean. At the end of this period, the student, in consultation with the Committee on Undergraduate Studies of the School of Pharmacy, should ensure that sufficient revision and preparatory work is undertaken to allow studies to be resumed readily. Normally a maximum of one leave will be permitted during a student’s program. This leave will normally be granted for up to 12 months’ duration and may extend the duration of the student’s program. In the absence of good cause, any such student who does not resume studies on the specified date may be deemed to have left the program.
