FAQ Detail
What should I do if I want to take a break from the semester?
- FAQ Type: Academic Standing, Advising, Registration
- FAQ Response:
If you find yourself in difficulty – personal, financial, medical, or emotional – and need to take a break you may consider a Leave of Absence. You can request this by completing a Leave of Absence form https://scarlethub.rutgers.edu/registrar/registration/withdrawal-from-all-courses/. Advisors can talk with you about this option. Failure to attend class is not equivalent to a Leave of Absence, and students will not receive an adjustment of charges or grades (see studentabc.rutgers.edu/withdrawals). Students whose cumulative GPA is below a 2.00 may be required to attend Rutgers Summer Session prior to returning for a Fall or Spring semester.
