Students can take a leave of absence with the relevant executive board’s permission for the following reasons: medical, financial, family-related, military service, or domestic/international exchange programs. Students can take a leave of absence for a maximum of four semesters, but the absence can not exceed two semesters at one time.
Students who wish to take a leave should submit a petition describing their excuse along with the necessary documents to their department within the first two weeks of the semester/academic year the latest. However, in the event that the excuse for the leave emerges after this period, a student can make an application at any time.
