Personal or Medical Leave of Absence/Withdrawal Information

We believe strongly that having conversations before making big decisions is critical, and therefore we require that you meet with your faculty adviser and your dean before finalizing your decision to embark on a leave of absence or withdrawing from the College. To schedule an appointment with your dean, please contact the Center for Student Life and Advising by calling 845-758-7454 or by stopping into Sottery Hall.
