| Leave of Absence (LOA) is filed by a student who intends (for some reason) not to enroll for 1 school year (2 semesters and a midyear term). By filling a LOA, the student’s name will still be active in the list of OU students. Thus, he can still process necessary requirements (completion of grades, avail of services, etc.) from the OU. Note, however that the LOA is counted in the 5-year MRR. |
