There may be situations where a student requires a temporary break in attendance. A break in attendance is a temporary interruption in a student’s program of study and may have serious impact on a student’s financial aid. Any student considering requesting a break in attendance should consult with a Financial Aid Advisor to determine how their financial aid may be affected.
There are three primary types of breaks in attendance: Leave of Absence (LOA), Intent to Return (ITR), and No Class Available (NCA). Each type of break in attendance is subject to regulatory requirements for approval guidelines, length of break allowed, and required considerations for return from the break. Additional information follows related to each type of break in attendance.
