Policy related to taking a Leave of Absence
from Naropa University

Students who are not registered for the current semester:

Deadline for withdrawal is the last day of drop/add. If you are not registered nor have begun the withdrawal process by this date, you will be considered Unknown Withdrawal (UW). We must receive a notice from your advisor by this date to activate the LOA/ Withdrawal process.

You have until the last day of withdrawal from classes to complete your application. This means clearing up bursar holds, library holds etc. If your holds are not cleared by the last day to withdraw from classes you will be marked "not approved" and turned to Unknown Withdrawal. Students who are changed to Unknown Withdrawal will not be refunded their confirmation deposit.

Students who start their application late (we receive a notice from your advisor after the last day of drop/ add) can still begin an application with a $30 late fee. If you have already been turned to UW (in that semester) you will be considered "pending withdrawal." You have until the last day to withdraw from classes to complete the application regardless of the date you began the process.

After the last day to withdraw, only medical/family emergency withdrawals can be accepted.

Students who are registered for the current semester:

Students who are registered for the current semester but wish to withdraw in the current semester are encouraged to drop their classes and begin the withdrawal process before the last day of drop/add in order to avoid financial penalties. If you begin the process after the last day of drop/add, you will be financially responsible for any classes from which you withdrew. If you are still pending approval for your withdrawal you will be turned to Unknown Withdrawal after the last day to withdraw from classes. Students who are changed to Unknown Withdrawal will not be refunded their confirmation deposit.

Questions about Withdrawing from Naropa should be directed to your advisor or to the registration coordinator.
