When I try to drop a course on SAS, I am unable to do so. What should I do?
Courses cannot be dropped via the usual registration process on SAS once the mid-semester examination period has started, which marks the deadline by which courses can be dropped from your registration. To make requests for consideration to drop a course after the deadline to drop courses has passed, use the Automated Student Request System (ASRS) which can be accessed via Student Administration System (SAS) and follow the steps below.

Is there a deadline by which I should apply for leave of absence?
The deadline for Leave of Absence (LOA) as well as Voluntary Withdrawal (VW) is the same as the deadline for dropping courses. This deadline is usually just before the start of the mid-semester examination period for the semester. Monitor your emails for registration related deadlines and other related information.
If the deadline for LOA has passed then Late Leave of Absence (LLOA) may be requested and can be approved in exceptional circumstances.
