  • I will return on

  • Guidelines:

    • Students in good financial and academic standing who find it necessary to interrupt their education may apply for a Leave of Absence (LOA) for up to one semester (two consecutive eight-week sessions) per calendar year.
    • Application for LOA must be made prior to the start of the session in which the LOA is to begin. The LOA will NOT be granted for a session that has already started. Students cannot apply for Leave of Absence in the middle of their semester.
    • Failure to return at the end of an approved LOA will result in a student’s being withdrawn from the university.
    • International students are eligible for LOA after they have successfully completed 12 credits or two semesters (four consecutive terms of 8-weeks).
    • A leave of absence does not adversely affect satisfactory progress toward a degree. Contact Financial Aid for information on the effects of a Leave of Absence on financial aid packages.
