WHAT IS A LEAVE OF ABSENCE (LOA)?
LOA refers to an absence from the university. Once approved, a student is permitted by the university to temporarily interrupt studies. As a general rule, it carries with it an implied guarantee to accept the student as a returnee, subject to other policies of the university.
GUIDELINES
LOA is only applicable to eligible students.
Following the LOA policy, a student may be on leave for a maximum of two (2) terms only.
In the case the student wants to extend their LOA for more than two terms, they must email CLA Associate Dean Dr. Ron Resurreccion (ron.resurreccion@dlsu.edu.ph) with their personal email.
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all necessary forms and documents must be submitted, thus, incomplete application will not be processed.
Filing a Leave of Absence is considered for the whole term. If the needed absence will only be for a day or week, please consult your College Associate Dean or APO, as such absence is not considered a Leave of Absence from the University.
