The leave of absence must be submitted in writing using the institutions Leave of Absence form in advance. * When advance notification is not possible due to unforeseen circumstances, such as a car accident and the student is injured and needs recovery time, the school will document the reason for not obtaining the advance notice.

The leave must include the reason for the student s request for a leave. The student must sign the request form. The school will not asses the student any additional charges as a result of the leave of absence. The leave of absence together with any additional leaves of absence must not exceed a total of 180 days in a 12-month period.

The institution will extend the student s contract period by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence. Those changes to the enrollment agreement are initialed by all parties.

What about student records? 23 Students Rights Vincennes Beauty College adheres to the privacy policy as stated in the Federal Law: Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
