Taking a leave of absence from Rutgers?

<p>Assume one was to be enrolled in the SAS for the mathematics major, junior status.</p>

<p>What if for one semester you decide not to attend? Does Rutgers have issues with this? Or what if you need 20 more credits for instance and you decide you will just not attend Rutgers for a while and finish the degree later on.</p>

<p>Basically what I want to know is...if you are enrolled in rutgers, must you complete the degree without taking a leave of absence? Say you just want to leave for a while to work a job, that could be a reason or not?</p>

<p>At my County College we can basically do that. I was just wondering if it was the same at Rutgers.</p>

<p>“Students who interrupt their registration and plan to return at a specific time may take a leave of absence. Students who leave campus before the end of the 12th week of the semester are eligible to return the following semester without submitting an application for reenrollment, providing they submit a formal withdrawal request to the Office of Academic Services. Failure to attend class is not equivalent to a leave of absence, and students will not receive an adjustment of charges or grades (see studentabc.rutgers.edu/withdrawals) unless a formal leave of absence is filed with the SAS Office of Academic Services and approved prior to the 12th week of the semester.”</p>

<p>Hmmm… well I wonder what happens if semester is over already and you decide not to enroll the following semester?</p>

<p>I am assuming that you fill out the leave of absence form regardless. Call academic services and ask.</p>

<p>“Full-time students are expected to maintain continuous registration throughout their degree program. Students leaving campus at the end of a semester for study abroad, for military services, or other reasons should notify the Office of Academic Services.”</p>
