Leave of Absence Coordinator: Lisa Bishop

Need to take a leave of absence? We understand that many things can disrupt a veteran/military student's educational journey, such as being deployed, having other reserve responsibilities, or figuring out if school is right for you after being discharged from active duty. 

Lisa works with students who need to take leave, formally withdraw from the college, or apply to return and complete a degree. It is her goal to ensure that students are fully informed and supported as they make these decisions. If you need help, Lisa is your person!
