Leave of Absence and Reinstatement

A leave of absence can interrupt a student’s studies and delay the completion of degree requirements. Such leaves shall only be granted for good cause.

Generally, a student must be in good academic standing. A student in good academic standing is normally allowed no more than two semesters leave of absence during their degree studies. The student must complete a Leave of Absence Request form and specify the reason for the leave. The Leave of Absence must have the final approval of the SVP of Academic and Student Services.
To resume studies after a Temporary Leave of Absence, a student must contact the Registrar’s Office to request reactivation.
A student who does not return from a Temporary Leave of Absence by the date specified in the leave request is dismissed from the university.
