School of Graduate Studies: Leave of Absence Request Form

The Leave of Absence form is designed for situations when a student may need to leave the University for a given amount of time to attend to student illness, illness in the family, pregnancy, loss of employment, military deployment, etc. The student should be prepared to provide concrete rationale with documentation as requested to support the request for a leave.


A Leave of Absence may be taken for 1 semester or a maximum of 2 semesters (1 academic year). If additional leave is required after the duration of the first leave, then the student will need to fill out a new request detailing why additional time is required.


It should be noted that an approved Leave of Absence will provide you the necessary authorization to leave your program for a designated period of time. However, an approval for a Leave of Absence does not automatically remove any financial responsibility for the withdrawal from courses after the official drop/add period has ended for a given semester. Removal of current courses from the student's course schedule is the responsibility of the student.
