<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Professional graduate nursing students may, under exceptional circumstances, be granted a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the College of Nursing, as noted in the UNMC Student Handbook. [https://catalog.unmc.edu/general-information/student-policies-procedures/leaveofabsence-policy/ Leave of Absence Policy]</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Professional graduate nursing students may, under exceptional circumstances, be granted a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the College of Nursing, as noted in the UNMC Student Handbook.</p>


<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">An LOA is defined as non-enrollment during a fall or spring semester or a withdrawal from all courses at any point during a semester.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The student may be granted an LOA for a total of two semesters throughout the duration of his or her program, consecutive or non-consecutive.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The student will be responsible for working with his/her advisor to identify an eligible time to return. A student who has been granted an LOA is responsible for notifying the Student Service Coordinator of the intention to return to classes six weeks prior to the start of classes or as soon as possible. Re-enrollment is dependent upon available slots in the class or cohort. In the event no room is available in the class or cohort during the semester in which the student plans to re-enroll, an extension of the LOA past two semesters may be granted.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">A student who does not notify the Student Services Coordinator or his/her advisor, and does not return within two semesters, may be administratively withdrawn from the program. Re-entry into the College of Nursing will require re-application to the program. A student who withdraws from the College of Nursing without an official LOA, and would later like to continue his/her education, will be required to reapply through the regular admissions/applications process and meet the established admissions criteria in place at that time.</p>

<!-- <p style="margin-bottom:15px;">A student who is the subject of an involuntary dismissal from the College of Nursing, for any reason including, but not limited to, academic performance or disciplinary action is not eligible to invoke the
procedures contained in this policy.</p> -->
<!--===FINANCIAL AID CONSEQUENCES OF LOA===
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">The student is responsible for contacting the UNMC Office of Financial Aid to determine the financial
consequences of taking an LOA. For example, financial obligations regarding tuition payment and/or loan
repayment, as well as scholarships and grants, need to be reviewed with the UNMC Office of Financial
Aid prior to approval of the LOA. Significant financial consequences may result if courses are dropped
during a semester. Further information can be found in the UNMC Student Handbook,.</p>-->
===DEFERRAL OF ADMISSION===

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">A student may defer admission for up to one calendar year from the date admitted. Requests must be received in writing and addressed to the student’s academic faculty advisor and/or the Student Services Coordinator. The request must indicate to which semester the student would like to defer admission and include a detailed description of the rationale for requesting the deferral. '''The student is responsible for contacting the UNMC Office of Financial Aid to determine the financial consequences of deferring admission.''' After one calendar year of deferral, a student must withdraw and re-apply.</p>
