How can I request a Leave of Absence (LOA)? // ¿Cómo puedo solicitar una Licencia de Ausencia (LOA)?

Students in good standing, who have a family or personal emergency, or who have military orders for active service, can take a leave of absence from Atlantis University and will not be required to apply for readmission. The student must make a written request for a leave of absence. The written request must state the nature of the emergency, and when the student is planning to resume classes. The leave may not exceed 180 days within any 12-month period.

The leave of absence must be approved by the Registrar. Once approved the student is considered to be on an approved leave of absence (LOA). Courses that have commenced prior to the date of the approved Leave of Absence will be assigned a grade of Early Drop (ED) or Late Drop (LD). Early Drop (ED) grades assigned to these courses are not used in the calculation of the GPA and completion percentage. Late Drop (LD) grades will be used in the calculation of the completion percentage. If a student does not return when scheduled, he or she will be terminated. The last day of actual attendance will be used for refund purposes.

To request a LOA, fill out this form and send an email to registrar@atlantisuniversity.edu requesting a confirmation of receipt.

Note: A Leave of Absence may affect your grades, your financial aid awards and your graduation date and the school will notify you.
