At a time when students seem to have a growing desire to stop and then restart their college studies, The Pennsylvania State University has adopted a leave of absence policy to make possible such interruptions. The plan, developed by the University's Division of Admissions, Records and Scheduling, will go into effect in the Winter Term, 1974, which begins December 6. It is designed to allow students greater flexibility in their programs of study and, at the same time, provide faculty and administrators the means by which to plan for a student's return to the University. At present, the leave of absence option is available only to associate and baccalaureate degree students and carries a four-term or one-year limit. However, under special cir cumstances, it is possible to extend the leave period to a maximum of eight terms or two years. The option is available at the University's 17 Commonwealth Campuses and the Behrend College of the University in Erie as well as at University Park. Under the procedure, a student wishing to take a leave would simply complete the required form and submit it to the Records Office at University Park. The dean of the student's College at University Park or the director of his campus will determine a student's eligibility to take a leave of absence. Generally, any student who would continue in his program for the next term if he remained con secutively enrolled would be approved for a leave of absence. The student would then return for registration for the term in- PSU Students dicated on his request form If a student returns earlier or later than he had specified, he must apply for readmission. If degree requirements change while a student is on leave of absence, he would be held to those requirements in effect prior to his taking leave. It is expected that the new option will be helpful in en couraging students to attend Penn State under a flexible attendance pattern. ' According to Warren R. Haff ner, director of the Division of Admissions, Records and Scheduling, department per sonnel will be able to project course offerings and requests, based on the number of students who are returning for a particular term. At the same time, he said, administrators will be able to plan for students' returns as far as University planning and facilities are concerned_ "Through use of this new leave of absence option." Mr. Haffner added, "the university will beconle much more flexible to the needs of many types of students. In addition, the ground work will have been laid for some facets of the extended degree opportunities program." Attention Leaders! Any officer or committee chairman in any registered organization of Behrend College who is interested in participating in the Leadership Development Program please contact Dean Seanor. Sessions will begin later' this term. Behrend Collegian Termination of attendance is NOT an official drop and a failing grade will be assigned to all courses not completed nor of ficially dropped.
