    • 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 academic year.
    • A leave of absence does not adversely affect satisfactory progress toward a degree.
    • Students are encouraged to consult an academic advisor and the Student Financial Services Department before taking a leave.
    • 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. 
      Failure to return at the end of an approved leave of absence results in the student being withdrawn from the University.
