Separation from College Molloy/Cap21

A current student in the Molloy/CAP21 program may request a separation for one academic year (July 1 to June 30) only and may rejoin the program the following academic year, subject to available openings. Students requesting a one year separation must submit a Separation From College Request Form online through their Molloy Lion's Den account to the Office of the Registrar and notify the Director of the Molloy/CAP21 Program, Theatre Department in writing by August 15. Note that one semester separations are not permitted.

Students who take a separation year are not guaranteed re-admission which is contingent upon several factors, including the number of available openings in the following academic year’s cohort. If the cohort is full, re-admission cannot be granted. Students must submit their written request for re-admission to the Molloy/CAP21 program by April 1 of their separation year and it must be accompanied by a video audition demonstrating that they continue to possess the same level of performance competence.

Space availability will be determined by a cohort size of three sections, 48 students maximum. If there are more students requesting re-admittance to the program than there are openings in a cohort, then the selection of qualified students will be prioritized based on GPA as of the effective date of separation.

Financial Aid Considerations for Molloy/CAP21

Merit based scholarships will be reinstated for the Fall 2021, providing that the student has not enrolled in coursework at another college or university during the 2020-2021 academic year. Eligibility for need based grants and aid is subject to change based upon the FAFSA. For specific questions please contact Marguerite Lane, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management.
