ARC-PA 6th ed Standard A3.14d
A student who requires a leave of absence may proactively request deceleration when personal (non-academic) circumstances arise, jeopardizing their chances of completing their studies. All requests are considered by the Academic Progression Committee (APC) and the Department Director.
When granted, deceleration is extended for up to one (1) year. Beyond the one-year deadline, the student will be required to reapply to be considered for re-matriculation.
The Gardner-Webb University Department of PA Studies does not routinely offer deferment. However, the GWU PA Studies Executive Committee may consider extreme circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
