Leave of Absence

A leave may be granted by the Dean of Students because of medical, financial, personal, family, or other problems that are best treated away from Cornell. A student who takes an approved leave of absence is not considered to have withdrawn from Cornell. A leave of absence is approved if

  • the student has made a written request to the Dean of Students;

  • the Dean of Students has granted written approval;

  • the leave of absence does not exceed 60 calendar days; and

  • Cornell has granted only one leave of absence to the student in any 12-month period (defined as 12 months from the first day of the approved leave of absence).

If a student's leave is not approved, the student is considered to have withdrawn from the institution, and Cornell's refund policy applies. Also, a student who does not return to Cornell within 60 calendar days after beginning her or his approved leave will be automatically withdrawn from the College.

Students currently receiving financial aid who plan to request a Leave of Absence should consult the Office of Student Financial Assistance before making any decisions.
