You'll keep your registration priority and retain access to your CU accounts. You may apply for optional leave of absence benefits.
If you don't enroll in classes or receive grades (W grades count) in a fall or spring semester, you must apply for a leave of absence to remain in your program. You'll keep your registration priority and may access certain benefits while away. Approval signatures are required.
