For all other absences from campus , follow the corresponding Permission for Leave protocol .
Overnight Leaves { 7 / 16 / 16 }
An Overnight Leave is a single-use privilege that allows a student to return to campus by 7:15am the following morning , similar to Monday Morning Return for Seniors , but it can be used Sunday through Thursday . The student is required to be present , properly groomed , and ready for inspection at Morning Lineup .
An Overnight Leave does not excuse a student from any evening obligation ( Evening Lineup , intramurals , practices , games , assigned details , Study Hall , or dorm responsibilities .) Students on Academic or Disciplinary Probation may not take Overnight Leaves .
Procedure for Using an Overnight Leave { 7 / 16 / 16 }
1 . Complete an Overnight Leave form ( found in Student Affairs office ) prior to 3pm on the day the leave is requested . It is highly recommended that students confirm that they have an Overnight Leave to take before doing so .
2 . Once the student departs campus for an Overnight Leave , the expectation is that the student will not return to campus prior to 6am the following morning , in order to not disturb the dorm and / or campus . Students should plan accordingly .
3 . Any student who is eligible may submit for an Overnight Leave over the weekend by doing the following :
• Calling the Administrative Assistant for Student Affairs ( x232 ) and indicating his request prior to 10pm on the day of his expected return , AND
• Contacting his Dormitory Manager to notify him / her .
If , at any time , a student requests / uses an Overnight Leave and does not have one to take or is ineligible , he will be marked AWOL . If a student does not use the Overnight Leave he requested , he must inform the Administrative Assistant by noon the following day or he will lose the Overnight Leave .
Students who are sent to their dorm room for illness during the academic day may not use an Overnight Leave that night . The Director of Health Services will not send a student to his dorm room on the day after he has taken an Overnight Leave .
