Students can request a leave of absence to hold their enrollment for up to seven semesters while they serve a mission or in the military. A student is eligible if they have completed at least one semester of classes at Ensign College, have a current Ecclesiastical Endorsement, and have no financial or academic holds. Students must submit their mission call or deployment order with their leave of absence request form.
International students who apply for a leave of absence must also notify the International Student Office. A leave of absence will affect F-1 status and the I-20.
If a student plans to cancel their leave of absence or return earlier than initially requested, they will need to contact the Registration Office. If a student needs to extend their leave of absence beyond the maximum of seven semesters, they will need to reapply for admission. Upon returning from leave, students must have a current Ecclesiastical Endorsement to be eligible for registration.
