Leave of Absence

The Graduate Student Enrollment Requirements Policy states that students may not break continuous enrollment, i.e. have a non-enrollment period of three or more consecutive semesters, including summer terms. Degree-seeking graduate students are required to maintain continuous enrollment (fall and spring semesters) of at least one credit hour until degree completion, and they must be enrolled during the term (including summer) in which they graduate from the university.  

Active students who will not be enrolled and not using university resources in an upcoming fall or spring semester may apply for an academic Leave of Absence. A Leave of Absence (LOA) is a temporary interruption in a student’s program of study. A LOA cannot exceed 180 days in any 12-month period and may have a serious impact on a student’s financial aid. It should be noted students requesting a LOA for fall and spring are at risk of going inactive. If this occurs, the student must reapply for admission to the university.
