Leave of absence
Students can apply for a leave of Absence (acc. to §67 UA 2002) lasting up to 2 semesters (depending on the circumstances):
- Military service or civilian service
(proof: official notice confirming conscription and/or allocation) - Pregnancy
(proof: confirmation of pregnancy, including predicated birth date, issued by a specialist) - Childcare
(proof: child’s birth certificate and residence registration form proving shared household) - Serious illness
(proof: doctor’s note issued by a specialist) - Caring for an ill close relative living in the same household
(proof: doctor’s note issued by a specialist and residence registration form proving shared household)
Applications must be made via LFU:online before the start of the semester (01.10. resp. 01.03.) for which the student wishes to receive a leave of absence. Each application must contain the relevant documents proving the need for a leave of absence (see above).
During a leave of absence the student remains admitted to the university. However, he/she is not entitled to attend lectures, take examinations or submit written pieces of work (e.g. bachelor’s theses, diploma's or master's theses or dissertations).
The transitional period stipulating the phasing out of the old curriculum is not affected by a leave of absence. That means that this transitional period is not extended for students on a leave of absence.
During a leave of absence students are not required to pay tuition fees (in line with § 92 UA 2002). However, students on a leave of absence are still required to pay the Austrian Students’ Union fee (in line with the Students’ Union Act).

Students wishing to complete lectures/examinations at Innsbruck Medical University must reapply every semester for permission to do so.
