Leave of Absence and Withdrawal

If it is necessary for you to withdraw or take a leave of absence from the University, you should file an official Leave of Absence form. Even if you do plan to return, it is important that you complete the proper paperwork so that you will remain in good standing with the School. If you do not enroll in classes for a particular fall/spring semester you must complete a leave of absence form and then apply for readmission prior to being able to register for classes again.

If you are not making satisfactory progress toward your degree then you may be withdrawn from the program on the decision of the program director and the Associate Dean. You may also be withdrawn on the basis of academic or disciplinary reasons. Readmission in these cases is subject not only to space availability, but also to satisfaction of additional requirements specified in the terms of the withdrawal.

If you apply for readmission to a degree program in which requirements have changed since the time of withdrawal or leave of absence, you may be required to satisfy the requirements of the program of study as currently defined. The program director and the Associate Dean will determine which set of requirements apply.

You will not be readmitted until all prior Syracuse University financial obligations and disciplinary actions have been satisfied. If the leave or withdrawal from the University was for medical reasons, you must be approved for readmission by the office that originally authorized your departure. Readmission is also dependent upon space availability in the program.

Readmitted students are eligible to register for the upcoming semester during the regular registration period in the prior semester or on the registration day for new students at the beginning of the semester.

The full details of this policy are outlined in Academic Rules and Regulations, Leave of Absence.
