Yes, upon an approved request by the Dean of Students. See request form HERE. Please download and save it first before filling it out.

The general AAU policy does not support this. Such a request will not be approved unless a very particular circumstance justifies it.

Currently AAU is able to grant a leave of absence (LOA) to any Ukrainian students. They should contact their respective Deans’ Offices for standard LOA procedure. The relevant form is available HERE. Their tuition will be transferred to the next semester.

For all other students, regular policies apply. AAU is currently in contact with the Ministry of Education, who is reviewing the general rules for the leave of absence for students who need to be absent for an extended period of time due to the war in Ukraine. Any update will be posted here.

This topic is currently under further discussion. Any updates will be posted here.

WSCUC is willing to approach this in a positive way and be more flexible with the 50% rule. Considering the circumstances, exceeding 50% of courses taken online should, therefore, not be a problem for now. 

In regards of Czech accreditation, AAU is currently in touch with the Ministry of Education and the Council for Higher Education Institutions. More information will be posted as soon as possible.

Unless the student is granted a remote status by the Dean of Students (see the procedure description above), they must request a leave of absence through their Dean’s office.
