An official leave of absence means that a student has been granted permission by the Department and by the Dean of Student Affairs to be absent from school, unregistered, for a specified period of time. Because a leave interrupts your progress toward your degree, it is granted only for a good cause. To request a leave of absence, students must fill out a Request for Leave of Absence Form.
These forms are then submitted, along with a letter requesting the leave, to the UGFTV Administrative Director Wendy Kaplan stating the length of time you wish to be on leave and your reasons. Your leave is official only when you receive a letter from the Dean of Student Affairs granting the leave. All requests for a Medical Leave must be supported by a Physician’s note and will be reviewed by the Dean of Student Affairs.
An official leave of absence does not permit you to take course work elsewhere. For more information on permission to register elsewhere, please refer to the TSOA Policies and Procedures Handbook.
