Students are strongly encouraged to maintain continuous enrollment and complete their program of study. Students in the MPAS program are required to request a leave of absence for any interruption in studies and must follow the steps for a resumption of study regardless of the length of the leave of absence. Students who must interrupt studies during a semester or who defer starting the next semester must follow Chamberlain’s official withdrawal procedure, which includes completing loan exit counseling. Students who cannot complete required procedures in person should contact a academic support advisor as soon as possible.
