Leave of absence

If a student wants to request a leave of absence (LOA) they must see the Dean of Students to fill out the LOA form.

A LOA form is not required in order for a student to withdraw from all of their classes; however, a student must indicate on the LOA form if they want to withdraw from all of their current courses and be dropped from all of their future courses, or just be dropped from all of their future courses.

The Dean of Students will place any conditions of return on the LOA form and forward the form to the Office of the Registrar, and Financial Aid, the form will then be placed in the student’s file.

Please note that a Leave of Absence form does not replace a Not Returning form, nor should it be used to obtain grades of incomplete.

Once the form is received in the Office of the Registrar, the following will be done:

  • Student will be issued grades of W for each course in the current semester (if applicable).
  • Student will be dropped from all future courses.

Once the student is ready to return they must complete a reenrollment form and meet with the Dean of Students. Once it is determined that the student has met all of their conditions of return the Office of the Registrar and Financial Aid will be notified.
