Matriculated undergraduate or graduate students unable to continue their enrollment by reason of health are eligible for health leave. A student granted health leave retains continuing student status and may return as a continuing student without a new application or application fee and without being subject to changes in requirements made during the period of leave.
A Leave Request form needs to be completed with appropriate signatures to the Registrar's Office in the Student Services Center. A leave form should be submitted to the chair of the student’s major department. Undeclared undergraduates, must submit the form to Academic Services. A certificate from a licensed State of California health professional will normally be required.
A health leave shall not be granted initially for more than two consecutive semesters, but may subsequently be extended if the department chair is satisfied that circumstances so warrant. A request for extension shall be made in the same manner as the initial application.
A student granted health leave during a semester in which he or she is registered for classes is eligible for Incomplete ("I") grades if permitted by university policy. If Incomplete ("I") grades are not permitted or appropriate, grades of "W" shall be recorded.
It is the responsibility of students intending to return after health leave to notify the Registrar's Office as far as possible in advance of the semester of return. If timely notice is given, the student shall be allowed to register through the regular procedure.
Leave Request forms and information are available at the Student Services Center and are downloadable from www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms/index.htm.
