Leave of Absence Form

Leave of Absence Policy

Students who find it necessary to take a leave from their studies due to extenuating circumstances, such as medical or emergency situations, may request a Leave of Absence through the Office of Academic Programs. It is important to note that this policy is intended for exceptional situations only, and requests for a Leave of Absence may be denied if deemed not to meet these criteria.​

 

The Leave of Absence application will be reviewed by the Program Director. If approved, the leave is valid for one semester. Should the student require a longer leave, they must reapply when their current leave period ends. Students should be aware that if a Leave of Absence is requested, they will have to reapply for their scholarship upon return from their leave.

Leave of Absence Procedure

If a student needs to request a Leave of Absence due to extenuating circumstances, they must complete and submit the Leave of Absence application online. The Program Director will review the application, and a decision will typically be made within 5 working days. The student will be notified of the outcome, whether the Leave of Absence has been approved or denied.
