Students who step away from their studies for the sake of their health require more support when they return to campus, argues Ashley Mowreader of Inside Higher Ed. Mowreader explains that these students face barriers to returning and continuing their education and emphasizes the value of having formal aides in place to ease a student’s transition back into education after a voluntary leave. She identifies four ways that institutions can help these learners: creating formal step-by-step explanations of how to re-enrol at an institution, sharing consolidated information about institutional resources, providing dedicated coaching or advising, and/or fostering a community of peers.
