Leave of Absence

Students in good academic standing may request a Leave of Absence from the University for one semester. However, after the deadline to withdraw with a W from courses, a Leave of Absence cannot be granted for the current term. Credits earned at another institution by a student on a Leave of Absence cannot be transferred to the University.

Upon request, a Leave of Absence can be extended for one additional semester by the appropriate Academic Dean. Students on a Leave of Absence are considered continuing students and may pre-register for the next semester at the allotted time and must contact their advisor.

Weekend/Evening College students may petition to take a Leave of Absence for three consecutive semesters and will not be required to change their catalog. Also, with the approval of the advisor or director, Weekend/Evening College students may petition to enroll at another institution. A Leave of Absence is not required in the summer semester for the Weekend/Evening College students.
