Withdrawal and Readmission

A personal or medical leave of absence is granted to a student who needs to take a temporary hiatus from their academic career but intends to return to Lake Forest College as soon as is possible. Students requesting a personal or medical leave must be in good standing with the College (i.e. without an academic or disciplinary suspension or dismissal). Academic or disciplinary suspension or dismissal takes precedence over a Leave of Absence in determining a student’s status and official reason for leaving the College. Any departure from the institution may cause the student’s class year to change, which may affect registration, room selection, or other processes.
