Scholars must get approval for any exceptions to this policy. (Because it is a pass\/fail one-credit course, Colloquium does not count as a course.) These exceptions will only be granted in cases where there is a conflict with a required course for the major. If a Scholar does not take the necessary two courses, they will be considered not making adequate progress toward completion of the program requirements, which may affect their funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholars who are requesting an exemption from a Scholar\u2019s course must do so before the start of the relevant semester. The request must contain the approvals from previous semesters for not completing two Donaghey courses, an explanation as to the reason they cannot take the course in the final semester, and a possible course or courses to be used as a substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholars must consult with the Director before dropping a course. There can be a variety of good reasons for dropping a course, but it is important to look at all the options and consider the ramifications. The Program cannot pay for courses that are retaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scholars must receive permission from the Director in order to sign up for more than 18 credit hours of courses. This permission will only be given if the Scholar has a strong academic record and will never be given for the first semester. Because of our funding structure, we can only pay for 18 hours a semester, so anything over that will have to be paid by the Scholar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding is for eight semesters. In specific instances of majors with particularly extensive requirements that cannot always be completed in four years\u2014engineering, early childhood education, etc\u2014an additional semester may be added. The program cannot add a semester for the completion of a second major or instances where the student declared the major late in their academic career. To that end, when students declare a second major, they must draw up a course plan for the remaining semesters that includes the coursework for their majors and their remaining Donaghey coursework.

of Absence Policy"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>While it is generally expected that Scholars will make reasonable progress through their degree programs and finish in four years, we recognize that there are circumstances that may necessitate a Scholar taking a semester or more off from their studies. Therefore, it is possible for Scholars to request a leave of absence from the program and\/or to withdraw from the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-leaves\">Types of Leaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We recognize three different types of leaves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Planned Leave<\/em>: When a Scholar recognizes the need for time off in advance in order to pursue a legitimate education-related opportunity and schedules accordingly. Examples might include a non-credit granting internship or volunteer opportunity or the chance to work on a political campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Emergency Leave<\/em>: When a Scholar has life circumstances that require them to withdraw from the semester with little to no notice. Examples might include a serious illness or death in the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Academic\/Distress Leave<\/em>: When a Scholar, for whatever reason, is performing extremely poorly in their coursework or is unable to continue with their coursework and needs to withdraw and regroup. This type of leave is not recommended and can usually be avoided by communication early on with faculty and the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program Director. Taking this type of leave immediately puts the Scholar on academic warning and their funding may not be renewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-financial-aid-impacts-of-a-leave\">Financial Aid Impacts of a Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering a leave, it is important for Scholars to know how their financial aid could be impacted and this will vary based on the type of financial aid in question and when the Scholar decides to take the leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Donaghey Scholars Honors Program Funding<\/em>: The Donaghey Scholars Honors Program guarantees eight semesters of funding. If the Scholar schedules the leave in advance, their funding for the semester will be put on hold and can be used when they return. So, effectively, no funding is lost. However, if the Scholar withdraws from a semester, they will lose that semester\u2019s funding and be responsible for any tuition charges, fees, housing costs, etc. for any additional semesters required for graduation. Additionally, the Program will not pay for courses that must be retaken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>State Aid and Other Private Scholarships<\/em>: Different scholarships have different continuing eligibility requirements and Scholars are subject to all of these. Upon deciding to take a leave, the Scholar should see a Financial Aid counselor to discuss their specific aid packages and what should be done to be able to renew funding upon their return. For Scholars scheduling leave in advance, a request can be made to hold state and private scholarships until their return. However, for Scholars withdrawing from the semester, it is important to know that they could lose state scholarships for not completing the requisite number of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-requesting-a-leave\">Requesting a Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To request a leave of absence from the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program, the Scholar must write a letter, which can be sent electronically, to the Program Director. The letter should briefly explain the circumstances and include the Scholar\u2019s planned timeline for return. Once the request is approved by the Director, the letter will be placed in the Scholar\u2019s file and can serve as evidence that the student can return in good standing or indicate that the student must be readmitted by the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program Policy Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that a withdrawal from the semester requires the approval of the Program Director and that to withdraw without permission could result in a loss of funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-returning-from-leave\">Returning From Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a Scholar is ready to return from leave, the process will somewhat vary based on the type of leave taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Planned Leave<\/em>: The Scholar simply needs to notify the Director in writing of the expected date of return. If the Scholar plans to be on leave for more than two semesters, this must be cleared with the Director before future funding will be guaranteed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Emergency Leave<\/em>: The Scholar should notify the Director of their planned return and schedule a meeting to discuss their preparedness to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Academic\/Distress Leave<\/em>: Scholars who take this kind of leave are not guaranteed the ability to return or continued funding. The Scholar should write a formal letter to the Director and the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program Policy Council requesting to return to the program. This letter should address the issues that led to the leave, action steps taken to rectify the issues, as well as a specific plan to avoid repetition of the problem in future semesters. The Donaghey Scholars Honors Program Policy Council will make the decision whether or not to allow the Scholar to return to the program and to funding. If the Policy Council approves the request to return, the Scholar should schedule a meeting with the Program Director to discuss steps to achieve academic success and avoid past issues, as well as to revise the Scholar\u2019s degree plan and graduation timeline. The Director may request weekly or bi-weekly meetings and mid-term grade reports from faculty during the Scholar\u2019s first semester back to ensure adequate progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it is generally expected that Scholars will make reasonable progress through their degree programs and finish in four years, we recognize that there are circumstances that may necessitate a <a href=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/donagheyscholars\/leave-absence-policy\/\" class=\"more-link\">…<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> Leave of Absence Policy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1168","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Leave of Absence Policy - Donaghey Scholars - UA Little Rock<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/donagheyscholars\/leave-absence-policy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Leave of Absence Policy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"While it is generally expected that Scholars will make reasonable progress through their degree programs and finish in four years, we recognize that there are circumstances that may necessitate a ...

abroad and the Donaghey Foundation generously provides <em>$8,500<\/em> per student to support this. The goal is to ensure that Scholars have an immersive experience abroad and truly become part of another culture. To this end, programs must last at least 5-6 weeks during the summer, and many Scholars choose to study abroad for a semester or a full academic year. We also want the experience that Scholars have abroad to enhance their education and give them skills that will help them as they pursue their career paths. Therefore, Scholars may choose programs that are related to their major or future profession, or they may study a foreign language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Scholars study abroad during the summer after their sophomore or junior year. It is unusual, but not impossible, for a Scholar to go the summer after their first year in the program, but we would need to be convinced that they were personally and academically prepared to get the most out of the experience. We do not allow Scholars to study abroad during their senior year except in the most unusual circumstances, as students should be using this year to complete their final projects and apply for graduate school or jobs. Scholars on academic warning are not allowed to study abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many study abroad programs cost more than the $8,500 provided by the Donaghey Foundation and Scholars who wish to participate in these programs should begin working with the Scholars Office and the Office of Study Abroad as early as possible to find additional funding sources. It is important to note that Donaghey Scholars Honors Program tuition scholarships cannot be used at a foreign university, so with the exception of exchange partner universities (see below), you will not receive the tuition scholarship while you are abroad. Keep in mind that you may be able to use your other financial aid to cover study abroad costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Summer Programs<\/em>: For summer programs requiring additional funding, you will need to apply for scholarships or fellowships. You are also eligible for student loans to make up any uncovered costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Semester or Year-Long Programs<\/em>: Provided that you are enrolled in the required number of hours, you will still receive your regular scholarships, such as the Arkansas Academic Challenge, Pell Grants, etc. These funds can be used to cover study abroad costs and any excess balance will be given to you in the form of a refund check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Partner Programs<\/em>: One way for Scholars to participate in more expensive semester or year-long programs is to look for a partner program with which UA Little Rock has an exchange agreement. These agreements change and the Study Abroad Director will be able to provide you with a current list. Exchange agreements permit the student to pay tuition costs to their home university instead of their host campus. This means that the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program can pay your tuition as we normally would if you were on campus. This only applies to semester or year-long programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-to-prepare-for-study-abroad\">Steps to Prepare for Study Abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We strongly recommend beginning to think about study abroad in your first year and to seriously start researching programs and talking to the Office of Study Abroad and the Donaghey Scholars Office 9-12 months before you hope to travel. The later you wait, the harder it can be to find a program that meets your needs and the program requirements, and finding additional funding for more expensive programs may not be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are ready to begin the process, here are the basic steps you should follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consider the types of programs and parts of the world you might be interested in. We encourage you to be open-minded and flexible about the latter, as the best program for you might not be in the country you expect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule an appointment with the Study Abroad Director to discuss options. They will help you make a list of programs to research and consider more thoroughly. You should discuss these options with your advisor in your major, especially if you will be doing a program in your field of study.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you have narrowed the list down, work with the Study Abroad Director to create a budget spreadsheet for your top choices. This can help you select your preferred program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule a meeting with Dr. Scott and come with your budget spreadsheets. She will work with you to make sure the program meets the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program requirements and that you fully understand the financial commitments of your chosen program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once Dr. Scott has approved the program, work with the Study Abroad Director to apply to your program of choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meet with your department chair or the department chair for the Department of World Languages to approve credit for the courses you will take abroad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work with the Donaghey Scholars Office and the Study Abroad Director to purchase your plane ticket. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-study-abroad-exemption-policy\">Study Abroad Exemption Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Donaghey Scholars are all required to study abroad as part of an approved program prior to graduation. However, we recognize that there are circumstances which may prohibit a student from traveling abroad or where study abroad could cause significant delay to the student\u2019s graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Scholar may apply for an exemption to the study abroad requirement. This process includes two steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Scholar should schedule a meeting with the Director or Associate Director to discuss the initial request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Scholar should prepare a more formal request to the Donaghey Scholars Program Policy Council.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The request should be made no later than the spring semester of the student\u2019s third year in the program to give time for the student to arrange study abroad if the request is denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that a student is given an exemption from the study abroad requirement, they forfeit the $8,500 study abroad scholarship. Those funds cannot be used for other expenses or to support domestic programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study Abroad Basics All Donaghey Scholars are required to study abroad and the Donaghey Foundation generously provides $8,500 per student to support this.
