In the event that a leave of absence is demanded, the student shall apply to the Registrar`s Office by completing the relevant form within twenty days at the latest following the occurrence of such reason and prove it by documentary evidence. The continuity of the said reasons is grounds for the extension of leave of absence by the executive board.
The student can be granted a leave of absence at the most for 4 semesters, and at most 2 times consecutively (on valid and acceptable reasons), subject to a decision by the Faculty Administrative Board provided that he/she applies at the latest within 30 days after the beginning of the academic year. The student has to pay one fourth of the tuition fees for each semester for which he/she has been granted a leave of absence.
On account of epidemic, detention, economic reasons, imprisonment and abolition of the suspension of military obligation, such leave of absence can also be granted in mid-term, subject to a decision by the relevant Faculty Executive Board. However, the tuition fee paid by students in these conditions is not refunded.
A student on a leave of absence during a semester cannot attend classes and take the final examinations of such semester.
