Returning from Medical or Mental Health Leave of Absence (CES)
If you have taken a medical leave of absence from Wake Forest University and it is determined by you and your healthcare provider that you are able to successfully return to Wake Forest University to pursue your education, you must provide verification from a licensed healthcare professional stating:
- You have followed through with a course of treatment appropriate to the condition(s) which necessitated your departure from the university
- That the condition is unlikely to return to the degree that it will necessitate a subsequent medical withdrawal
- You are ready to resume full-time student status
