Newlane strives to offer a quality college degree at a manageable price. Part of helping students earn their degree involves helping them make satisfactory academic progress. Some times, for any of a number of reasons, a student may not be able to make satisfactory academic progress. A leave of absence with Newlane pauses the clock on a student’s academic and graduation schedule (and thus the time frame for making satisfactory academic progress). A leave of absence can not extend beyond 30 months.
