Checklist

For Students Approved for Academic Leave of Absence

• Return the Academic Status Notification Form (which will be sent to you upon approval of your leave, for academic leave only) to notify the College whether you will or will not be taking the leave that has been granted to you.

Deadlines: May 15 for fall/full year, December 1 for spring.

• Return your library books.
• If you want to continue on the Mount Holyoke student health insurance plan while you are on academic leave, submit a written request to the Office of Student Financial Services.
• Review your plan of study with your academic advisor, particularly in regard to any courses you wish to use to fulfill requirements.
• Leave a forwarding address with Mail Services.
• Forward your MHC e-mail if you will not be using your account here while you are away. Important information about pre-registration and housing will be sent to your MHC e-mail account, so be sure that you continue to access those messages and keep that account clear of any quota restrictions.
• If you have been awarded a Laurel Fellowship and/or expect to use any federal, state, or other outside aid, or parent loan or payment plans toward your program abroad, see additional forms and instructions.
• Check with Student Financial Services before you leave campus to ensure that your file there is complete (if applicable).
• If you will be studying abroad, see the Predeparture Information section of the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives Web site
