A student in good academic standing may apply to take an academic leave of up to one academic year. Students who apply for King’s approved off-campus programs will be automatically granted academic leave for the duration of that program.
Students on academic leave are required to request permission for any courses taken elsewhere during that leave prior to taking those courses. Students on academic leave are restricted from taking courses elsewhere that we are offering during the period of the leave. Students on academic leave are also responsible to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of their program at King's.
Students not on leave who fail to register by relevant deadlines for a regular academic term lose their student status and must reapply for admission. Re-admission is not guaranteed.
There may be financial implications as a result of taking academic leave; students are advised to consult with the Manager, Student Finance and Scholarships and the Registration and Student Finance Office in advance.
Forms to apply for Academic Leave are available at the Registration and Student Finance Office.
