Continuing students who plan to not attend UCLA for a term must declare nonattendance.
Students need to declare nonattendance if they are not planning to attend UCLA for a term and have not paid registration fees for that term. Students can declare nonattendance through MyUCLA.
New students who declare nonattendance must file a new application for admission if they wish to return to UCLA. Admission is not guaranteed.
If registration fees have been paid and a student decides not to attend that term, he or she may be eligible for a refund of all or part of the registration fees depending of the date of cancellation or withdrawal.
Undergraduates
Students who complete a term (fall, winter, spring) and do not register the following term, may return to UCLA the subsequent term as a continuing student without submitting a readmission application.
Graduate Students
Declaration of nonattendance by graduate students does not place them in official leave of absence status. Graduate students must submit a leave of absence request.
