Leave of Absence
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 the Loyola Schools. The minimum period for a Leave of Absence is one semester.
Students who will not enroll at the Loyola Schools 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 ADAA 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 the student’s entire stay in the Loyola Schools. Exceptions to this rule may be made by the ADAA.
