- Leave of Absence Success Plans
A Starfish LOA Success Plan outlines steps (called To-Do’s) to help maximize your time away from RIT and position you for success upon your return. Advisors can build Starfish LOA Success Plans in partnership with you as you are planning to take a Leave of Absence from RIT. As you complete items within your plan, you can request your advisor to complete and close the items from your plan.
When an LOA success Plan has been created, it will be sent to your RIT email address. It will also be available to you anytime in your Starfish account.
