Leave of Absence

Students in good academic standing (cumulative GPA of 2.00 or above) are eligible to sit out one or two semesters and maintain their priority registration status without the usual reapplication process, provided a Leave of Absence is approved by the Registrar.

To qualify, students must satisfy the following criteria:

Be registered during the semester immediately before the beginning of the leave
Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 at the time of application for leave AND following the posting of grades for the semester immediately preceding the term of the requested leave of absence
Have their University accounts paid in full, at the time of leave application AND following the posting of grades for the semester immediately preceding the term of the requested leave of absence
Have no pending disciplinary action

To obtain a Leave of Absence form and for more detailed information regarding the Leave of Absence policies, go to website of the Office of the Registrar.
