Standard Period of Non-Enrollment (SPN)
AIU students electing to take a session off may apply for a Standard Period of Non-Enrollment (SPN) without formally withdrawing from the University. The student must provide a completed Confirmation to Return form prior to the fourteenth day of the session that the student will be taking off. Once the student has posted attendance in the second session of the term, the student is only eligible to request a SPN for that session during the Add/Drop period, or if they've successfully completed one course in the previous session. Students who do not return in the following session will be administratively withdrawn.
