Student Provider Health Leave Request

Provider instructions: A Health Leave of Absence from Calvin University is under consideration for this student in order to address personal health concerns. Students who take a Health Leave are encouraged to use time away to focus on treatment and recovery, creating a specific Health Leave Plan in collaboration with Calvin personnel at the commencement of their leave.


Your input here will support the Dean of Students (or other Calvin personnel) in determining whether a Health Leave is advisable for this student and also what conditions might indicate that the student is healthy enough to return to the rigorous academic and social environment of university in the future. You are welcome to attach additional documentation to expand on your comments regarding the student’s ability to function safely and successfully.


Due to the time-sensitive nature of the Health Leave decision, it is requested that this provider form be submitted within three business days of receipt. Information can be submitted to the Dean of Students at Calvin University using the online form below. Alternatively, you may choose to print a PDF version and submit it via one of the following methods:

  • email attachment – deanofstudents@calvin.edu
  • fax – 616-469-2979 (c/o Director, Center for Counseling and Wellness)
  • in-person – Dean of Students, Student Life Office (Spoelhof Center 364), Calvin University, 3201 Burton St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546
