Reason for Leave of Absence Request (complete for all LOAs including mid-course LOAs):
By signing below, I affirm the following:
My leave of absence cannot be for more than 60 days unless requesting for course availability
or student teaching.
For mid-course, I must submit this request on or before my last date of attendance in my
current course.
For end-of-course, I must submit this request on or before the end date of my current course.
I am allowed up to two 60 day LOAs within any 12-month period unless I can provide
documentation of extenuating circumstance that would allow me to request a third LOA
within that time period.
If I received Title IV funds and do not return from my LOA, I will be considered withdrawn
from the University for financial aid purposes and a refund calculation will be completed.
If I received Title IV funds and do not return from my LOA, the number of days from my last
date of attendance to anticipated return date will count against my grace period for Title IV
loan repayment purposes.
