A student might need to request temporary leave from their studies at Wentworth for many reasons. Some common reasons include military deployment, taking time to address health concerns, or managing challenges at home or with family. Regardless of the reason for a potential leave, students should consult with their Success Advisor, Financial Aid Office and the Student Accounts Office as early as possible about their plans for taking a leave. The university encourages students to make the best decision for them and seeks to support them to return to the best possible state to succeed in their remaining semesters. 

Students may also withdraw from the university voluntarily; while withdrawals are typically permanent, students may choose to request reinstatement after time away.  Students who have been away from Wentworth for four or more years need to reapply for admission. 

Additionally, there may be circumstances where the university determines that it is in a student's best interest or the university community to initiate an administrative withdrawal of a student. In these rare situations, the student can participate in the process as outlined in section VI: Procedures.
