Return from a Leave of Absence

We look forward to welcoming you as you return from your leave of absence. This page will guide you through the process, including the registration and housing information.

We recommend you contact the University at least 6 weeks prior to the start of the semester, if you have not already communicated your plans to return. This will allow ample time for you to work with the Registrar’s Office, Residence Life and Housing (RLH) and any other entities to ensure a smooth transition and a successful return.

First Step:
Notify the Registrar's Office that you are returning by emailing registrar@redlands.edu. You will not be able to register online unless you notify the Registrar's Office of your return. 

Second Step:
After your record is reactivated in Self-Service, log in, and as you do, take note of your current academic advisor (who will need to approve you for registration) as well as any registration holds that may be on your account. Those will need to be addressed before you can register for the semester. If you have questions about financial holds, contact Student Financial Services (sfs@redlands.edu). Advising and registration periods can be found on the academic calendar. 

Third Step:
Complete the Return to Housing Form for Fall 2024 form on your MyRedlands Housing Portal under Applications and Forms by May 1 to communicate with Residence Life and Housing (RLH). All CAS undergraduate students are required to live on-campus, unless they have received prior off-campus approval, and this form is how to make your housing arrangements. Email rlh@redlands.edu  regarding questions.

Lastly, solidify your insurance. The University requires all enrolled students to submit proof of health insurance on an annual basis. Please visit the Student Health Insurance page as soon as possible for information on health insurance and/or waiving the student health insurance plan.

If you do not plan on returning, you must communicate that with the University.
Please complete the following online form if you will not be returning to the University.
