Impact of a Leave of Absence or Withdrawal on Repayment of Student Loans
For the purposes of financial aid, an LOA is considered a temporary break in a student’s attendance that cannot exceed 180 days within a 12-month period. The PA Program must report to the lender(s) a student as “no longer enrolled” when the LOA exceeds 180 days. The student may be obligated to begin loan repayment. The student is required to meet with a staff member from the Office of Financial Aid prior to beginning the LOA to discuss student loan obligations during their LOA.
If a student withdraws from the PA Program and received financial aid during their enrollment they are required to attend a financial aid exit interview. During the exit interview, a staff member from the Office of Financial Aid will advise the student about their rights, responsibilities, and loan repayment obligations for the financial aid they received. Veteran's Affairs (VA) benefits will be terminated for VA students for unsatisfactory progress.
