Tenure of Completion and Leave of Absence
The MBA programs are designed for completion within one and a half (1½) years for the Accelerated MBA Ateneo-Regis Program and two (2) to three (3) years for the MBA Standard, Middle Manager, and MBA-Health Programs.
The MBA programs must be completed within five (5) years from the time the student begins the program.
In case of work exigencies, health concerns, or other unforeseen circumstances, the student may file an official leave of absence from the MBA program. The student may accumulate a maximum of two (2) years of leaves of absence.
The following procedure for taking the official leaves shall be followed:
- The student writes to the Registrar of his/her intention to go on official leave citing the reasons and the expected duration of his/her absence.
- The Registrar reviews and approves the official leave of absence and puts it on record.
Leaves of absence from the MBA program shall not be counted in reckoning the five (5) year tenure for completing the program.
