    the school always recommends it.....there were people that would leave for a weekend to one of the other islands and obviously wouldnt get a leave.....I took a week off my second semester and the professors and assistant dean recommended i take a leave bc if a professor decided to give a quiz or anything then you are covered.....its just easier to do. Also, it isnt bc the school wants to track you 24/7, its urged by the US embassy in caracao in case the US ever has to evacuate the island or there is a natural disaster.....they need to know how many americans are on the island

    unless youre canadian and talk funny

    Didn't they recently send out an email outlining the new policies? I believe if you're just leaving for the weekend or holidays, no, you don't need to file a LOA. But if you're gone during schooldays you do need one. I'm not sure though. Best to check before you end up in a world of trouble.

    A recent official email stated you do not have to file a form if you are just leaving for a weekend and will not miss any classes.
