One Semester Leave

Students who have attended at least one semester as a matriculated student and who are in good or probation standing may choose to leave SJSU for one semester (Fall or Spring) without submission of a Leave of Absence form. Students choosing this option must return the following semester and continue their enrollment as a matriculated student. If a student does not return in the semester following the one semester leave, the student will be required to reapply for admission to the next available admission term. Students utilizing this option may not submit a formal leave of absence following the one semester leave. Please review the Returning Student section for additional information.

Students who engage in college coursework outside of SJSU during the one semester leave period will be required to submit official academic transcripts prior to course enrollment.
