Leave of Absence

Federal regulations require the financial aid office to evaluate students who begin an approved Leave of Absence (see catalog section on Withdrawal from the University) during an academic period in which they're currently enrolled for Return to Title IV, as described in the Return of Federal Student Aid section.

Depending upon the length of time you are not enrolled, your federal student loans may go into repayment. The Financial Aid Office sends students Loan Exit Counseling instructions shortly after a borrower's Leave of Absence request is approved. The Loan Exit Counseling instructions helps students understand the loan grace period and repayment options.
