Leave of Absence

You may request a leave of absence from the University of Minnesota. To request a leave of absence, you must submit a request form to the Office of Student and Career Advancement Services. Nursing courses follow a particular sequence. Therefore, students who are taking a leave of absence from required nursing courses must contact their faculty or professional academic advisor to discuss their options. Failure to have your leave of absence approved could affect your status as a MN student, as well as your financial aid award and ability to be readmitted to the School of Nursing.

Due to the nature of pre-licensure programs, students may be required to repeat clinical coursework that is more than 1 year old. Students on an approved leave of absence do not need to apply for readmission to the MN program.
