Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2024–2025 61 A student is not eligible to take an LOA during the summer semester preceding the start of the M3 class year of study or at any time during the M3 class year of study except for documented medical reasons or for special circumstances approved by the SPAC. All leave time is counted toward the graduation requirement of completing the program within 150 percent (6 years) of the time for the program’s curriculum, starting from the date of matriculation into the M.D. program. 2. Administrative Break in Enrollment An administrative break in enrollment may be voluntary or mandated. A student requesting a voluntary administrative break in enrollment must complete the proper paperwork obtained from the Office of Student Affairs. Additionally, a student must meet with a counselor in the Office of Financial Aid to establish the parameters of the financial aid. The financial aid of a student on an administrative break in enrollment will be adjusted accordingly, which may require a return of previously disbursed money. A student will not be able to obtain financial aid during an administrative break in enrollment regardless of the reason for the administrative break in enrollment. During an administrative break in enrollment, the student must follow the prescribed instructions and requirements associated with the administrative break in enrollment and, if applicable, complete rehabilitation or treatment for the reason that precipitated the necessity for the administrative break in enrollment. Any excused absence that extends beyond two weeks will result in an IP or withdrawal from the course depending on whether the student has completed more or less than 50 percent of the coursework. To resume the program, the student may be required to meet with the SPAC and show that the preestablished instructions and requirements have been met, and that the student shows reasonable likelihood that the previous problem(s) will not recur. The SPAC will make a decision as to whether the student may resume the program. Such decisions are appealable pursuant to the due process/appeal procedures outlined in this handbook. 3. Course Status During an Administrative Break in Enrollment If a student will be on an administrative break in enrollment for 50 percent or more of any course (miss half or more of a course), the student will be withdrawn from the course(s) (see the Withdrawal from a Course section in this handbook). In all such cases, a grade of Withdrawal (W) will be noted on the student’s transcript. In such cases of withdrawal from a course, the student must repeat the course in its entirety during the next course offering, after returning from administrative break in enrollment, and will receive the earned grade. Until the course is repeated, the student may not progress to the next class year of study. As a result, a student may be reclassified to a subsequent class year if the next course is not offered until the following year. If a student did not begin one or more courses during the semester in which the student begins the administrative break in enrollment, those courses will not be reflected on the student’s academic record and transcript. If a student will be on an administrative break in enrollment for less than 50 percent of any course (miss less than half of a course), the student will be issued a grade of In Progress (IP) for the course(s). The course director(s) involved will be notified and consulted regarding possible dates of return and
