Leave of Absence - Frequently Asked Questions
I previously attended the Kelley School of Business; can I return without having to reapply for admission?
As long as you leave Kelley in good standing, you may return without having to reapply. You will need to complete the Returning Student Form.
How long will my student record stay active while I am away from campus?
Student records stay active for one year; once a student has not registered for classes on the Bloomington campus, their record becomes inactive.
However, the Recorder can reactivate your record when you decide to return. You may also be required to complete a Criminal Activity form.
How long will my IU e-mail account stay active?
Your student computing accounts remain active as long as you are enrolled at any IU campus.
After two consecutive terms (fall, spring, and summer are each considered one term) during which you are not enrolled through the IU registrar, UITS will disable your accounts.
When should I notify the Records office I am returning?
For the earliest possible registration appointment, the Returning Student Form should be submitted by the following dates:
Returning in Summer/Fall: March 1 of the year you plan to return
Returning in Spring: September 30 before the January when you plan to return
Forms will not be accepted less than two weeks before the first day of classes. The Kelley Records Office will review the form and your student record; they will send you an e-mail with next steps once a decision has been made.
I am an international student, how will the Office of International Services be notified that I am approved to return to Kelley?
When the Recorder receives your returning student form, your record will be reviewed and if you left Kelley in good standing, OIS will be sent an e-mail stating you are approved to return for the appropriate semester.
How can I find the date & time I can register for classes?
Go to One.iu.edu and search for the Student Center app. Your enrollment date and time will be listed in your Student Center.
Do I need to meet with an advisor before registering for classes?
Yes. Once your form has been processed, the Kelley Records Office will contact you with next steps, including instructions for meeting with an advisor.
If you are unable to come to the IU Bloomington campus prior to your registration date, phone appointments are available.
After you meet with an advisor, you will be given permission to enroll in classes.
