Leave of Absence (5.507)
An approved leave of absence allows a student to maintain their student status while not being enrolled. During a leave of absence the student would not enroll in courses, pay tuition or fees, consult with faculty or use university facilities and services.
Course Loads and Full-Time Definition (5.508)
Full-time status for graduate students is designated as 8 credits in degree-related courses during the academic year. There are situations in which full-time status is less than 8 credits.
