Leave of Absence Procedures
Academic regulation regarding the Leave of Absence Policy can be found in the
student guidebook, duLac.
Requesting a Leave of Absence
The student must contact his/her dean before the semester in which
they would like to take a leave of absence. A student cannot take
a Leave of Absence for more than two consecutive semesters. If the
student is planning to study elsewhere during their leave, the dean
of the student's college may approve the leave as a "Study Leave"
in order for the credits (classes) to be transferred to the University
of Notre Dame. A leave can be granted for personal, medical, military, or study
purposes.
