A leave of absence may be granted upon the student’s written request after satisfactory completion of one year in the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. Written requests must be made by December 15 for leaves beginning in January and by August 1 for leaves beginning in September. A leave of absence assures readmission to the School provided the student complies with the terms of the leave. Leaves of absence are granted only to students in good academic standing or as required by studio faculty in the M.Arch. Program and are considered only after the student has completed two semesters in the program.
Readmission after an authorized leave of absence requires notification (by letter) to the Office of Admissions by July 1 for the fall term and by November 15 for the spring term. Failure to give written notice on or before these dates will result in forfeiture of a place in the studio sequence; other classes may still be taken.
