Voluntary Leave<br />
of Absence<br />
A voluntary leave of absence may be<br />
granted by the Committee on Academic<br />
Standing to undergraduate students<br />
who request a temporary withdrawal<br />
from <strong>Columbia</strong> Engineering for a nonmedical<br />
reason. Students considering a<br />
voluntary leave must discuss this option<br />
in advance with their advising dean.<br />
Voluntary leaves are granted for a period<br />
of one year (12 months) only; VLOAs<br />
will not be granted for one semester,<br />
or for more than one year. Students<br />
must be in good academic standing at<br />
the time of the leave, and must be able<br />
to complete their major and degree<br />
in eight semesters. Students may not<br />
take courses for transferable credit<br />
while on leave. Finally, students who<br />
choose to take voluntary leaves are not<br />
guaranteed housing upon return to the<br />
<strong>University</strong>. International students should<br />
contact the International Students and<br />
Scholars Office to ensure that a leave<br />
will not jeopardize their ability to return<br />
to <strong>Columbia</strong> Engineering.<br />

Readmission<br />
Students seeking readmission to The Fu<br />
Foundation School of Engineering and<br />
Applied Science must submit evidence<br />
that they have achieved the purposes for<br />
which they left. Consequently, specific<br />
readmission procedures are determined<br />
by the reasons for the withdrawal. Further<br />
information for undergraduate students<br />
is available in the Center for Student<br />
Advising. Graduate students should see<br />
the Office of Graduate Student Services.<br />
Students applying for readmission<br />
should complete all parts of the<br />
appropriate readmission procedures by<br />
June 1 for the autumn term or October<br />
1 for the spring term.<br />
