When needing to take a leave in the midst of a current semester (e.g., emergencies, medical situations, etc.):

1. Complete the Leave of Absence Application
See the “Application” tab.

• INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS with an F-1 or J-1 visa are required to work with the Designated School Officer (DSO) (valexander@truman.edu) before completing this Leave of Absence application.

2. Application Approval
A student鈥檚 application will be approved by the Academic Standards Chair (appeals@truman.edu). Students receive an email confirmation of this approval.

• INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS have to be approved for a leave by the Designated School Officer (DSO) (valexander@truman.edu) before Truman’s Academic Standards Chair (appeals@truman.edu) can approve the leave application.

3. Withdraw From All Courses
The Leave of Absence application does not automatically withdraw you from your current semester courses or future semesters (if applicable). To withdraw, follow these steps:

1. Go to ,
2. Select the 鈥淩egistration Tool鈥� under Shortcuts on the left-hand side of the screen,
3. Select the link titled 鈥淲ithdraw from all courses for a selected semester,鈥�
4. Use your TruView credentials to login,
5. Complete the questions outlined in the form to the best of your ability.
   NOTE: Your request to withdraw from all courses from the selected semester will be processed by the end of the next business day.
   NOTE: This process will trigger other processes on campus, such as notifying Residence Life (if you are living on campus).

Please note, enrollment fee refunds will be made in accordance with guidelines stated in the University Catalog under 鈥淩eturn of Enrollment Fees,鈥� on the page. The Registrar鈥檚 Office reviews for students who have special situations or circumstances. Appeals must be in writing and must include appropriate documentation (e.g., medical reports).

4. Campus Housing
If a student lives on-campus, they will need to communicate with the Residence Life Office to coordinate moving out of their residence hall in a timely manner. Students should communicate with their Student Advisor and the Student Housing Assistant (rlsha@truman.edu) on this matter.

• The Residence Life Office is reasonable in the amount of time they give a student to move out of their room.

5. Leave of Absence Begins
If agreed upon LOA length needs changing, students should communicate with the Academic Standards Chair (appeals@truman.edu).

6. Financial Knowledge
If a student is able to, we recommend they consult with the Financial Aid Office about how a Leave of Absence would affect their non-Truman funded financial aid.

7. Returning from Leave
Prior to the semester a student returns to their coursework at Truman, students should connect with their academic advisor about enrolling in courses.

• We recommend students returning in the Fall semester consult with their academic advisor beginning in the March or summer prior.
• We recommend students returning in the Spring semester consult with their academic advisor beginning in the October prior.
