Request for Leave of Absence

A student in good academic and financial standing may request a leave of absence at any time. A leave of absence allows a student to postpone the program requirements and tuition payments and resume the same program plan when the students returns to active status. Administrative Fees will still be charged while on a leave of absence. 

Leave of Absence Policy and Requirements

  • Students have up to seven (7) years to complete the program, with leaves of absence reviewed on a case-by-case basis;

  • Leaves of absence do not extend the seven year time frame for program completion;

  • Students may request a formal leave of absence for health or family needs, with a maximum length of one year;

  • Student must be in compliance with NMI’s Satisfactory Academic and Clinical Progress Policies;

  • Tuition payments must be current.

Students may be granted multiple one year leaves of absence over the course of their enrollment with NMI, but multiple leaves must be separated by at least one full quarter of active program participation including compliance with tuition, academic, and clinical progress policies.

Tuition payments and requirements for academic and clinical progress compliance resume once the student’s leave of absence expires.
