How do I complete a Leave of Absence Petition?

With the amount of flexibility students have in the degree programs, a Leave of Absence is infrequent. Students must contact the Registrar's Office prior to taking a Leave of Absence. As necessary, alternate scheduling options will be discussed to help the student remain in the program. Students are required to submit a Leave of Absence petition directly to the Registrar's Office. The Leave of Absence is considered official when the completed petition has been processed by the Registrar's Office and tuition credit or refund has been made with the Business Office.
