You will retain your Brown email for one year after your leave begins. After that, it will convert to a Lifetime Account. You can extend your student email access by contacting:

• If you an undergraduate: The College
• If you are a graduate student: The Graduate School

Students on leave do not retain card-swipe access to:

• Dining facilities
• Residence halls
• Other Brown-owned buildings that require swipe entry

Students on leave may attend public campus events or meetings that would normally be open to the public or as a guest of a Brown student, unless being on campus poses a threat to their safety or the safety of others.

Students on leave may not hold a student leadership position (such as president of a student group) on campus during the time of their leave, and may not reserve campus space. Students on leave will be notified by a dean if any additional restrictions apply to their participation in campus life.

Students on leave may apply for jobs open to the public, but are not eligible for roles classified as "student employment," which are limited to enrolled students.

Students on leave do not retain automatic access to athletic facilities. However, they may purchase a pass under the Alumni Membership policy. Visit the Brown University Recreation website for current eligibility and pricing.

Library access ends when your leave becomes effective. In certain cases—such as graduate students completing work required for return—access may be granted. Requests should be coordinated through your department or Student Support Services.

Students wishing to take coursework at another institution while on leave should review information on transfer credit policies and contact the College to ensure eligibility. Detailed information can be found on the College’s website.
