If you are a student who is not currently on an F-1 visa*, Records and Registration can assist with your semester break request.
To request a semester break, please submit a ticket to Records and Registration by submitting a ticket through this link --> New Support Ticket. Please make sure to include which semester you are requesting a break for, and when you intend to return.
Additional Information:
- A Doctorate student may request a semester break for one semester at a time. This request will be reviewed by the Program Lead, Faculty/Dissertation Advisor, and the Doctoral Program Coordinator for sufficient cause.
- A Graduate student may take a semester break, or pause their studies, for up to two consecutive semesters at a time.
- An Undergraduate student may take a semester break, or pause their studies, for one semester at a time, Fall or Spring.
Note: If a student is unable to return to their studies after an approved semester break based on the limits referenced above, they will be withdrawn and must reapply when they are ready to return.
*If you are a student currently on an F-1 visa and would like to request a semester break, you will need to contact the International Student Office. Please submit your inquiry through the International Student Support Portal
