Leave of Absence

It sometimes becomes necessary for students to leave the university for a semester or two. In order to facilitate their return, students should apply for a Leave of Absence, indicating the probable semester of re-enrollment. This notification will assist the university in providing students with a more automatic reinstatement of matriculated status, financial aid and housing reservations. Leave of Absence forms are available in the Registrar’s Office and must be signed by the appropriate Dean. Students on scholarship who file the Leave of Absence Form will have the scholarship reinstated unless the student attends another institution during that time.

Students who do not file for a leave of absence and do not register for classes during the next regular semester (Fall or Spring) will be set to inactive status. Students who are inactive will be required to follow the university's re-enrollment process to continue their degree progression. See Undergraduate Admissions for the re-enrollment process.
