Some students take time off to put their course work into perspective.
Others go on leave to pursue a special job or career opportunity. A few students request a leave of absence for medical reasons. Any currently enrolled student in good standing and with no disciplinary record is eligible to take a leave of absence. Students may request leaves for one semester, with longer extensions granted in special circumstances. To make such a request, you must speak with an academic advisor in the Undergraduate Division and complete a Leave of Absence Form.
