If you’re enrolled in Relay’s AmeriCorps program, taking a leave of absence, whether a general leave of absence or leave of absence for a compelling personal reason, will impact your membership status. Students may be temporarily suspended from the AmeriCorps program if they plan to return to Relay that same academic year. However, students must be early exited entirely from the AmeriCorps program if they will not return that same academic year. If supporting documentation is provided and a compelling personal circumstances leave is approved, students will be able to earn a portion of their Segal AmeriCorps Education Award (if eligible) upon early exit. Students should mention their AmeriCorps membership when connecting with their advisor and reach out to support@relay.edu with any AmeriCorps–specific questions.
