Student Involuntary Leave of Absence
Northern Arizona University is committed to the safety, health, and well-being of all Students and members of the University community. The University recognizes that Students may experience situations that significantly inhibit their ability to function successfully or safely in their role as Students. When such circumstances arise, the University encourages Students to take a voluntary leave of absence so that they may address any outstanding issues. When a Student chooses not to take voluntary leave and the best available objective evidence indicates that they pose a serious risk to themselves or the health and safety of the University community, or where the Student’s behavior severely disrupts the University environment or its customary functions, the University may require the Student to take an involuntary leave of absence.
