If you are unable to attend your next upcoming course due to other obligations, you may use the Registration Tool to take a Leave of Absence (LOA) for your upcoming course session.

Up to two (2) LOAs may be granted over the course of the entire MScFE program. LOAs are not included in the transcript and do not count against the Maximum Time Frame (MTF).

The Registration Tool tracks your LOAs and you will receive email notifications with further instructions and reminders of when to return to your coursework.

Please note that you are not permitted to change your status to LOA after the Registration Period. Leaving a course while it is in session and prior to its completion is considered a Cancellation (during week 1) or a Withdrawal (after week 1). Both Cancellations and Withdrawals count against the maximum time frame (MTF) of 3 years permitted to complete the Program and course withdrawals will appear on your transcript.

For a more detailed visualization of the registration process and the rules surrounding it, please review the graphic below. You can download it and/or open it in a new tab to enlarge it.
