A Leave of Absence is a formal request to leave school but return within one year.
Request a Leave of Absence if you need to take some "time off" from college but have a plan and expect to return to SUNY Potsdam within a year's time.
You should know:
- If you are requesting a Leave of Absence, you'll need to indicate the semester you plan to return.
- Before returning, either contact the Office of the Registrar at (315) 267-2154 or go online to learn more and access the Undergraduate Readmission Application.
- To be readmitted for a fall semester, the application for readmission must arrive by August 7 and to return in the spring, it must arrive by January 7.
