The school will continue to effectively streamline processes regarding leaves of absences and withdrawals and data entry into the Student Information System (SIS). In part, the separation dates will be manually entered with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). To note, the school permits students to take leave of absences (LOA) for up to two semesters, which is greater than the Federal Student Aid (FSA) allows (180 days). The Registrar’s Office codes students on leave with a separation date in our SIS, the student will also be coded as such with NSC. If the student does not return from a LOA after 180 days (6 months), the NSC student record will be updated to a withdrawn status effective one day before or one day after the leave began as recommended by NSC.
