Leave of Absence

Leave of Absence Information >

Typically, a graduate student may apply for a leave of absence of no more than two long semesters. Requests for a leave of absence must be recommended by your faculty adviser to your program area's Area Chair, who will send a leave of absence request to the Graduate Advisor (including details regarding duration and reason for the leave), who will then notify the Dean of Graduate Studies.

See the Graduate School’s page on Withdrawals for more information about policies.

Academic Warning, Dismissal, and Termination

Registration in the Graduate School beyond the first semester or summer session depends on three factors:

  1. satisfactory progress in absolving any admission conditions;

  2. maintenance of a GPA of at least 3.0 in all graduate coursework; and 

  3. approval of the student’s GSC.

A graduate student whose GPA falls below 3.0 will be warned by the Graduate School. The student must attain a satisfactory GPA during the subsequent semester or be subject to termination. The student may not drop a course or withdraw from a course during this period without approval of the Graduate Advisor and Graduate Dean.
