Before you decide

Check on the following…

  • Will my spot be held?Check how long your school keeps your place and whether you have to apply to come back.Ask: Registrar
  • Will I graduate later?A term off can push back your graduation. Ask which required classes only run in the spring.Ask: Academic advisor

  • What happens to my scholarships and aid?Ask whether your scholarships and grants pause while you’re away or end, and what you need to do to get them back.Ask: Financial aid office
  • When would I have to start repaying loans?Student loans usually stop being deferred when you’re not enrolled. After a short grace period, often six months, payments can start.Ask: Financial aid office
  • Will I still have health insurance?A student health plan usually needs you to be enrolled. Make sure you’re covered from January to April.Ask: Student health office
