At Student Support Services, we recognize that every student’s path is unique. We offer a supportive space to help you think through your options—medical leave being one of them—as you develop a plan that aligns with your well-being and long-term success at Brown.
Students take medical leave for a variety of reasons, often related to physical health, mental health, or substance use concerns that are impacting their ability to fully engage in academic and campus life. While the decision to take a leave can be difficult, many students later reflect that it was a meaningful and beneficial step for them.
