Health and Safety Policy and Procedure for Involuntary Student Removal from the University Programs, Campus or University Housing and Return
Nova Southeastern University is committed to the safety, health, and well-being of all members of the University community. NSU recognizes that students may experience situations that significantly inhibit their ability to function successfully or safely. When such circumstances arise, NSU encourages students to explore the possibility of a drop or withdrawal from classes, a leave of absence from their academic program when appropriate, or separation from university housing so that the students may address the issues precipitating the need for the drop/leave of absence/separation and later return to NSU with an enhanced opportunity to achieve their educational goals. There may also be circumstances where NSU may immediately remove a student from the University, Campus or University Housing in accordance with this procedure.
For more detailed information and the full involuntary removal policy, please go to the Student Handbook.
