Leave of Absence

A leave of absence is one or more semesters during which a student is matriculated in a JST degree program but does not register for classes. Students may request a leave of absence, in writing, from the Associate Dean, stating fully the reasons for the request. A leave of absence indicates a break in a student's program. While on leave a student may not use the resources of the GTU Library, JST Dean's Offices, student services, or the faculty. A leave is granted for either one term or one year. Note that a student may not graduate during a leave period, and must return to active status in the semester he or she wishes to graduate.

GTU MA students should refer to the MA handbook for policies and fees.
