Temporary Leave

We understand that circumstances result in needing to take time off from school.

If we can support and assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us at advising@csusb.edu or 909-537-7345.

If you are an Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) student, please get in touch with the EOP office at eop@csusb.edu or 909-537-5042.

Please know the Temporary Leave form does not withdraw you from courses. You are responsible for dropping your classes.

International students need to consult with the Center for International Studies and Programs if they do not plan to enroll in courses during an academic term

If you would like to take more than one semester off a Leave of Absence (LOA) is required to remain active at CSUSB. The LOA covers both emergent and planned interruptions or situations. With an approved LOA, you can maintain enrollment eligibility and current degree requirements.

LOA should be submitted before the expected term of absence. The LOA starts with the first semester of absence indicated on the form. Retroactive requests for medical and military LOA may be considered if supported by documented extenuating circumstances. Personal and planned educational leaves cannot be retroactive. The maximum duration for any leave of absence is two calendar years, although exceptions may be granted due to documented extenuating circumstances.

Please review the University Bulletin for the complete Leave of Absence policy. Contact the Office of Academic Advising in University Hall, Room 329 (UH-329) for more information.

The Leave of Absence petition can now be submitted through your MyCoyote Student Center.
 

Undergraduate students who do not enroll in classes for two consecutive terms will be discontinued from CSUSB. If discontinued, undergraduate students seeking to return will be required to reapply to the University.

Students are responsible for withdrawing from courses they are enrolled in.

International students need to consult with the Center for International Studies and Programs if they do not plan to enroll in courses during an academic term.
