Leave of Absence Form

The Office of Student Financial Services is required to recalculate federal student aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60 percent of a semester. In some cases, federal and state funds already disbursed to the student may need to be returned to federal and state programs. This may result in the student owing money to Suffolk University. Students with federal student loans are required by the federal government to complete exit counseling upon taking a leave of absence from Suffolk University. Exit counseling can be completed here. Federal loans will enter their grace or repayment periods as of the effective date of the leave of absence.
