I. Introduction
西瓜视频 College is committed to creating a learning environment where all students can reach their full potential. The College remains dedicated to supporting all students while also preserving the safety and security of the College community.

When a student exhibits behavior in a private or public setting that renders them unable to effectively function in the residential or college community without harming others or disrupting the college community, they may be required to take an involuntary medical leave of absence. In these situations, the Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students, or designee, will consult with appropriate members of the College’s CARE team to assess the circumstances. A decision will be reached based on an assessment of the student’s ability to safely and productively engage in purposeful activities at 西瓜视频, with consideration of the health and safety risks the student may present to themselves or other members of the community. This decision may also consider whether the student’s actions have caused ongoing or significant community disruption inhibiting the academic progress and safety of other students in the 西瓜视频 community.

This policy outlines the individualized process that will be utilized when a student exhibits behavior that may necessitate an involuntary medical leave of absence from the College or other conditions or restrictions.

An involuntary medical leave of absence may be required when a student exhibits any of the following:

• Has or is suspected of having a reportable communicable disease.
• Is deemed a risk to the community.
• Disregards psychological and/or medical treatment recommended by medical professionals to address the concerning behaviors.
• Has psychological and/or medical needs that cannot be met by the available facilities or resources.
• Exhibits any behavior or condition that raises concerns about the ability of the student, at this point in time, to satisfy and comply with academic requirements, the Student Code of Conduct, and college policies, rules and regulations with or without a reasonable accommodation.

This policy is not intended to be disciplinary in nature, but to support the student and maintain safety of the community. Situations may arise in which this Policy, the Student Code of Conduct, or other 西瓜视频 College policies are applicable, and in such cases the Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students, or designee, shall determine which policy or policies may be invoked.

II. Procedures
The Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students, or designee, in consultation with appropriate members of the College’s CARE team, determines whether a student has engaged in behavior that prompts the application of this policy.

a. Review and Decision Process
To determine whether an involuntary medical leave of absence is appropriate, the Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students, or designee, in consultation with appropriate members of the College's Care team may:

• Review available incident reports and documentation of the student’s behavior.
• Consult with other College staff/faculty, as appropriate.
• Review relevant available medical documentation.
• Seek the cooperation and involvement of parents or guardians of the student.
• Meet with the student, if feasible, to review the reasons why an involuntary medical leave of absence is being considered.
• Require the student to furnish a completed medical provider form.

The Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students, or designee, in consultation with appropriate members of the College's Care team, will utilize the information gathered to make an individualized assessment. Upon a determination that an involuntary medical leave is necessary, the Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students, or designee, will offer the student the opportunity to take a voluntary leave of absence or agree to other administrative restrictions or conditions in order to remain at the College.

In the event that the student is incapable of responding on their own behalf, the AVP and Dean of Students will make an effort to communicate with the student’s parent or guardian. If the College is unable to communicate with one of the individuals above, the College reserves the right to either place the student on an involuntary medical leave or impose administrative restrictions as a condition of remaining at the College.

b. Temporary Measures
If the health and safety risks the student may present to themselves or other members of the community presents an immediate risk of harm, the AVP and Dean of Students, or designee, may implement immediate administrative measures. These include a temporary involuntary medical leave of absence or restrictions on a student’s access to the campus (including housing, services, classes, activities and facilities) until the AVP and Dean of Students or designee is able to review the matter and make a determination as described above.

c. Conditions of Leave
If the student is placed on an involuntary medical leave of absence, the AVP and Dean of Students, or designee, will assess and provide individualized conditions for the involuntary medical leave of absence.

These conditions may include compliance with treatment plans, examination by independent or College health professionals, require the release of relevant medical records, interviews, a personal statement, and a demonstrated ability to meet the College’s academic and conduct standards.

Upon processing an involuntary leave, the College may take the following steps:

• Grant grades of “W” (Withdrawn) in enrolled classes, even if the normal deadline for a “W” has passed, or may be granted “INC” (Incomplete) should the student’s Academic Dean and faculty believe it appropriate.
• Grant tuition credit based on the last date of attendance, prorated room and board, if applicable.
  • Any student considering a voluntary medical leave should consult with their financial aid advisor. If you are receiving a prorated credit and receive financial aid, your financial aid offer is subject to review.
• Limit participation in programs or activities organized by the College until officially approved to re-enroll.

d. Appeal Process:
A student who has been placed on an involuntary medical leave of absence from the College or has been subject to other restrictions or conditions may appeal this decision. The student must submit the appeal and the reason(s) why the appeal should be granted within five (5) business days of notice of the involuntary medical leave of absence or other measure. The student must submit the appeal and the reasons supporting the appeal to the AVP and Dean of Students or designee, who will forward the appeal to the CARE appellate team for review.

Grounds for submitting an appeal:

• New information not available at the time of the decision such as a change in the individual’s medical status.
• Contesting the information or facts that formed the foundation for the College’s decision.

The decision on the appeal will be communicated to the student within five (5) business days from the day the appeal was submitted, unless the circumstances require more time, in which case the student will be notified. During the appeal period and process, the student will remain on leave or subject to other imposed conditions. If an appeal is denied, the decision is final and no further appeal is permitted.¹
