Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1640-01-26-.06 - PERSONAL OR MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE
(1) A student may
be granted a medical or personal leave of absence from timely enrollment in the
initial fall term, full-time attendance, or continuous enrollment at an
eligible postsecondary institution if all other applicable eligibility criteria
are met. Each eligible postsecondary institution shall adopt procedures for
considering student requests for leaves of absence. Allowable medical or
personal reasons include, but are not limited to, illness of the student,
illness or death of an immediate family member, pregnancy, extreme financial
hardship of the student or student's immediate family, fulfillment of a
religious commitment encouraged of members of that faith, attendance in a
program of study at a TCAT which only begins in the spring or summer term or
when openings are unavailable for the initial fall term, full-time attendance
at an eligible four-year postsecondary institution while waiting for admission
to an eligible postsecondary program, fulfillment of required military service,
a student's participation in an internship or co-op program that is required or
encouraged as part of the academic program in which the student is enrolled, or
other extraordinary circumstances beyond the student's control where attendance
by the student creates a substantial hardship. In the event an institution
denies a student's request for a medical or personal leave of absence, the
student may appeal the decision in accordance with these rules.
