<p>Question, could a student be at fault for not informing the school taking a year off or so?</p>
<p>You see, I am a Junior, and last year the Fall 2012, I was accepted into the Social Work program for my Bachelors degree. I will like to continue as a college student, but I do not have the money to help pay for it.</p>
<p>And so, I will not be taking out a loan as I do not want to be in debt. I will like to work for it. Therefore I can graduate being debt free. I've been hearing too many stories about recent graduates not paying their tuition and having to pay $30,000 dollars in loan. It's ridiculous.</p>
<p>Thus, I know you can reapply back to the school, but could a person be kicked out of their program for their leave of absence. In my case, I am taking a few years off because I am trying to save money to go back to school. I am bit worried at this point.</p>
<p>Even if you should defer (and you would have needed to contact the school for permission to do so), the deferment period is usually 1 year (2 years if you have to meet a mandatory military requirement). If you did not ask the school to defer your admissions last year, then yes, you have been kicked out of the program (as the school assumed that you were attending somewhere else and did not inform them).</p>
<p>You will most likely have to reapply and start the process over</p>
<p>I’m confused. Are you saying you are a college student NOW and need to take time off? If so, you should see the Dean of Students and request a formal leave of absence.</p>
<p>Could you please clarify your post?</p>
<p>$25,000-$30,000 in loans for a undergrad degree is not ridiculous, especially if they are subsidized.
It does depend on if you fear you will be able to find work after graduation though.
As far as leave of absence goes, you request that while you are still attending.
If not, then you will be assumed to be attending elsewhere & will have to reapply.</p>
<p>Not a college student, sorry for confusing you. I am job hunting.</p>
