Leave of Absence

If you are currently a Kelley School of Business, IU Bloomington student and plan to take a leave of absence for a semester or more, fill out the Leave of Absence form before leaving campus. 

Returning Students

If you attended the Kelley School of Business, IU Bloomington, in the past and wish to return:

  • Read the Leave of Absence Frequently Asked Questions. All students that plan to return to the IU Bloomington campus are required to submit a Returning Student form.
  • Students returning after a required Academic Unit Dismissal should review those policies.

To ensure timely enrollment for a student's returning semester, Returning Student Applications for Leave of Absence students must be completed by the following dates:

  • Summer return - October 1st
  • Fall return - March 1st
  • Spring return - October 1st

Failure to apply by the above deadlines will result in the Returning Student Application being denied.

International students may have additional forms to complete prior to taking a leave of absence. Connect with the Office of International Student Services for additional information.

Email Records Office: ksbrec@iu.edu

Note: The returning student information does not apply to graduates seeking a second degree from the Kelley School of Business. 

Pre-Business students, if you plan to take a leave of absence, you must first contact Kelley Admissions at bschool@iu.edu.

Permanent IU Withdrawal

If you are currently a Kelley School of Business, IU Bloomington student and no longer plan to attend IU Bloomington, fill out the Permanent IU Withdrawal Form before leaving campus.

Multiple Withdrawals From All Subjects Petition

Indiana University Bloomington undergraduate students who complete a Withdrawal from All Subjects for two academic terms (fall, spring, or summer) will not be permitted to register for a future term without written permission of the dean of their college/school or the dean’s delegate. These students will have a Negative Service Indicator (hold) that prevents future registration placed on their record by the Office of the Registrar until such permission is obtained.

For Kelley School of Business students petitioning to register after multiple withdrawals, please contact busadv@iu.edu to request permission to petition to have your hold removed. An academic advisor will reach out with more information about next steps.
