The University’s Spring 2025 deadline to arrange a voluntary leave of absence has passed.  Undergraduate students who are unable to complete their spring semester coursework should contact their academic advising area for assistance.
Summer 2025 leave/withdrawal instructions (for CGS 1st year students only).  Our team will begin accepting and processing requests on April 23.
Instructions for Fall 2025 leaves/withdrawals (for non-MET undergraduates).
Our team will begin accepting request forms and processing requests starting the last week in May; check back then for information and instructions.

If you are arranging a leave of absence, don’t forget to look through our “Planning Your Return From Leave” pages.

If you are interrupting studies for health reasons, you must complete the medical review process as well; you can find details about the necessary steps on our “Medical Review” page.
