During your study you may need to apply for leave of absence. When you are on leave you can not attend courses or take exams.
Leave
In your application for leave, you must state reasons why a leave of absence will improve your study situation or your ability to complete the study.
Who can apply for leave of absence?
You can apply for leave of absence if
- You have passed the 1st year of an AP degree programme or a full bachelor's degree programme.
- You have passed the 1st semester of a top up bachelor's degree programme.
- Your leave is due to maternity, paternity, adoption or military service.
Consequences of leave of absence
- You are not eligible for SU during your leave. It is therefore important that you examine your SU situation and possibly contact your SU supervisor in the KEA study administration.
- Students who have been granted leave cannot register for another education.
- Students who have been granted leave cannot participate in courses, use workshop facilities or participate in exams during the leave period. You have no right to vote for governing bodies and cannot stand for or be a member of any governing body at KEA.
- Leave due to maternity, paternity, adoption or military service will be deducted from the maximum period of study time as stipulated in the Ministerial Order on Academy Profession Degree Programmes and Professional Bachelor's Degrere Programmes.
- Students applying for leave for other reasons must complete the study within the maximum period of study time.
- Illness does not prolong your maximum period of study time. Illness counts in the calculation of the total period of study time.
- At an AP degree programme you must have completed your study within 4 years at the latest.
- At a full bachelor's degree programme you must have completed your study within 6 years at the latest.
- If you are not a Danish citizen, you may risk losing your residence permit.
