Involuntary Withdrawal or Leave of Absence
Students may be asked to withdraw or may be placed on an involuntary leave of absence when their physical or mental health or the manifestations of their health render them unfit to continue the course of study. Prior notice and the opportunity to be heard will, under ordinary circumstances, be given before the imposition of an involuntary leave of absence. However, the HNC reserves the right to conclude that, on certain occasions, conditions exist that warrant an immediate leave of absence in order to avert imminent harm to the student or to other persons or property. In such an event, a student on an involuntary withdrawal or leave of absence will be apprised immediately of procedures for appeal and reinstatement by the American Co-Director and American Academic Coordinator.
Involuntary Withdrawal or Leave of Absence for Academic Reasons
Students will not be allowed to register for additional courses while multiple incomplete or missing grades exist on their record. Alternatively, they may be required to reduce their course load. Students may request reinstatement with the American Co-Director and American Academic Coordinator.
