According to university policy, students can request a maximum of two consecutive semesters for a leave of absence (for example, Fall 2024 and Spring 2025).

If you are considering extending your leave of absence for a second semester, please contact the Center for Student Success at css@sandiego.edu or (619) 260-5995 to discuss your decision and next steps.

Note: The deadline to extend your leave of absence is the "last day to withdraw" deadline of the semester you are hoping to extend your leave of absence (for Spring 2025, that deadline is Wednesday, April 9, 2025).

If a student does not submit a leave of absence extension request and wishes to return to USD, they can submit a petition for readmission through the Torero Hub once they are ready to return. Note: This is not a competitive process like the first time you applied to USD. This is for administrative purposes and to better understand your reasons for returning to USD.

For more information regarding the readmission process, please submit the Torero Hub Question Form.
