DISCONTINUANCE OF STUDIES / LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Discontinuance of studies results either through the issuance of transfer credentials (Honorable Dismissal) issued by the Registrar’s Office for reasonable cause or upon petition of the student, or by an order of dismissal by the University President after the commission of a major serious offense specified in the Code of Conduct for Students.

Should a student wish to leave the University temporarily, he must first secure permission from the Dean to be on leave of absence stating the definite period and the reasons for his leave. He must fully accomplish the leave of absence form which he can secure at the Registrar’s Office. Otherwise, the student’s discontinuance of studies shall be counted against him for purpose of determining the maximum residency rule.
