School of Education, Counseling Psychology and Pastoral Ministries

Leave of Absence or Withdrawal

To withdraw from the University, a student must submit a withdrawal letter to the
Graduate Services Office, Bannan Hall 243. Students who have not enrolled for three
consecutive terms (summer session is not considered a term) will be considered inactive
and the appropriate department will be notified. Students wishing to reactivate
their file must contact the Graduate Services Office. Degree-status students who
interrupt their course of study for up to two years are not required to resubmit an
application. Degree-status students who interrupt their course of study for more than
two years will be administratively discontinued from the University. In order to return,
they must file a new application form and be readmitted to their program of study.
See the Admissions section of this bulletin for admission deadlines. Applications for
readmission will be subject to the admission requirements and procedures established
for persons applying for the first time.

Withdrawal from the University is not officially complete until students clear all
of their financial obligations with the Bursar’s Office. Students on deferments or Federal
Perkins Loans must also clear their financial obligations with the Office of Student
Loan Services.
