Preparing for Institute
Institute Leave Requests
In rare/emergency situations or extremely compelling personal situations, you may apply for one absence (up to 24 hours) through the Institute Leave Request Form. Permission to miss any portion of mandatory programming must be granted in advance with the approval of the Institute senior management team.
You must first receive approval from the Institute senior management team prior to booking travel. After receiving approval, corps members who plan on flying should expect to book flight departures for after 8pm Central Time.
After Institute is complete, you should not expect to leave the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the remainder of the summer, as many districts will begin district/school training immediately following Institute. Please submit request at least ten days before the date you will be requesting to miss.

Dallas-Fort Worth Neighborhoods
Moving to DFW Guide
The Moving to DFW Guide includes resources such as in-depth descriptions of DFW neighborhoods, apartment locators’ contact information, and other critical information to help facilitate a smooth transition to your new home. Please keep in mind, however, that you should first focus your energy on passing your test and completing all onboarding action items for now. Additionally, we highly recommend securing housing during Institute, as you will have opportunities to familiarize yourself with the community and neighborhoods.
