LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY: Students requesting a Leave of Absence (LOA) must complete and submit this Request for Leave of Absence form before the term starts or as soon as an event occurs necessitating this LOA. The student should select the reason a LOA is needed; LOAs are allowed for up to one full year. If the student remains unregistered beyond this year's time, the University will withdraw the student. (In some instances the student can be reinstated, but if more than two years has elapsed, Warner will require readmission.) Once the student submits this form to the Warner School Registrar, she will place the student on LOA. The student should be aware that: • While a LOA will keep a student enrolled and has no impact on tuition awards, etc., it does place the student on inactive status; • This status will affect the student's ability to take out loans and/or defer loan repayment; • A student on LOA is not full-time and therefore not eligible for UR student health insurance; • LOAs are not allowed in the term immediately preceding completion of the student’s degree program. • LOAs CANNOT BE GRANTED RETROACTIVELY. Students should direct questions regarding the LOA process to the University Registrar's Office (registrar@rochester.edu).
