Request a Temporary Separation from SJU Lancaster
What is a Temporary Separation from SJU?
At Saint Joseph’s University there are many ways for students to temporarily separate from the University:
A. Leave of Absence (LOA) (medical or non-medical) - Taking time away from your education for the semester. This request must be submitted before the end of Add/Drop if the student is registered for classes that term.
B. Withdraw from all Classes (medical or non-medical) - Currently enrolled in classes, but unable to complete the semester.
C. Term Away (medical or non-medical) - Undergraduate Day students only. Unable to take classes at SJU during a given semester, but able to continue taking courses at a different institution. REQUIRES approval for courses elsewhere prior to approval of the Term away during the spring or fall semesters.
