Request for Reinstatement from a Medical Leave of Absence


The first step in the reinstatement process is to submit this request for reinstatement BEFORE the reinstatement deadline for the quarter in which you wish to return. All deadlines are listed on the Dean of Students website.


Reinstatement from an approved Voluntary Medical Leave of Absence is granted by the Dean of Students Office in consideration with a recommendation from CAPS or Health Services. Your request for reinstatement will not be reviewed by the Dean of Students office until you have either met with CAPS (and signed a release of information allowing them to speak with your current provider as well as submitted your provider report forms to CAPS) OR provided necessary documentation and signed appropriate releases of information to Health Services, and they have issued the Dean's Office a recommendation regarding your return. .


After submitting this form, please get the necessary documentation to CAPS or Health Service.
