Retention Policy
In addition to the Graduate School Retention Policy (1L2), the program has the following additional Retention Policy:
If a student leaves the Educational Leadership program long enough for their status to become “inactive”, they will need to reapply to the program. If they qualify for readmission, instead of being directly admitted, they may be placed on a waiting list until it becomes clear that there is space in the Educational Leadership program for them. Qualified new program applicants may receive space priority over a student who has left the program and then applied for readmission, even if the returning student's application is received earlier than the new student's application.
