Leave of absence
If you are studying at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences and cannot participate in your courses for a longer period of time during the semester, you can apply for a leave of absence. Even during the leave of absence you remain a member of Anhalt University and retain your student status.
Important reasons according to Sec. 9 of the Enrollment Regulations (ImmaO) include, for example:
- health reasons,
- maternity leave (pregnancy) and parental leave,
- completing a practical activity related to studies (that is not required in the program and exam regulations),
- caring for a close relative,
- voluntary military service or federal volunteer service.
For international students, only the first two are considered important reasons for a leave of absence:
- health reasons,
- maternity leave (pregnancy) and parental leave
Scope of leave of absence
A leave of absence is typically only possible for entire semesters and a maximum of two successive semesters. During their studies, students may not take more than 4 semesters worth of leaves of absence. It is not possible to request a retroactive leave of absence.
