Students requesting a formal leave of absence from the School of Law must contact the Vice Dean for Student Affairs.
If a leave of absence is granted students must file a Petition for Waiver of Faculty Policy.
A leave of absence may be granted for one academic year. If a leave of absence is needed longer than one academic year you must speak with the Vice Dean for Student Affairs.
Students approved for a leave of absence remain liable for any outstanding tuition and fee charges.
Failure to register for classes or secure a leave of absence by the last day of classes of the semester in which the leave is to begin, will result in the student losing their access to register for classes in a future semester.
International students are advised to consult with the Vice Dean for International and Graduate Programs, as well as UB's International Student Services (210 Talbert Hall, North Campus, 716-645-2258) prior to applying for a leave of absence.
