Medical Leave of Absence and Reinstatement
When students experience a mental health condition that interferes significantly with their ability to function safely and successfully at NU, they may request a Medical Leave of Absence (MLOA). A Medical Leave of Absence allows students time away from the university for treatment and recovery, with the goal of restoring health and functioning.
If you are considering taking a Medical Leave of Absence (MLOA), or are requesting a reinstatement from a current MLOA, more information is available on the Student Assistance and Support Services webpage.
