A Leave of Absence refers to a period when a student temporarily discontinues one’s studies for non-academic and non-disciplinary reasons. A student’s request for an LOA requires the approval of relevant offices in Ateneo de Manila University. The minimum period for a Leave of Absence is one semester.
- Students who will not enroll in the ADMU for non-academic or non-disciplinary reasons should apply for a Leave of Absence (LOA).
- The LOA may not be granted to students who are on academic probation or have disciplinary cases. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the AVP-UEd for academic matters and by the Director of the Office of Student Discipline for disciplinary matters.
- Students may not study or enroll in another school while on LOA.
- The period of leave may not exceed one academic year and may be availed of only once throughout an undergraduate student’s entire stay in the Ateneo de Manila University. Exceptions to this rule may be made by the AVP-UEd.
