Class Registration during MLOA
While on MLOA, a student may not register for classes at baby直播app nor make academic progress until the student has been reinstated by the Dean of Students Office and the Student Affairs hold has been removed.
Students on medical leave are strongly encouraged to consult their academic dean’s office and advisor in advance and have an academic plan in place, to allow registration to occur once the hold is removed.

Campus Activities and Involvement
The purpose of a medical leave of absence (MLOA) is to provide a student time away from campus for treatment of a physical or mental health condition that impairs the student’s ability to function safely and successfully at baby直播app University.
Therefore, during the time of an MLOA, although still a member of the community, a student is not permitted to enroll in or audit baby直播app University courses, participate in intercollegiate athletics, partake in other student organization activities or make academic progress until the student has been reinstated by the Dean of Students Office and the Student Affairs hold has been removed.
