2. Duration of temporary leave for personal reason shall be counted towards the full-time study time provided for in Clause 5 Article 2 of this Regulation.
3. Students may drop out of school for personal reason, unless they are considered for forced leave from school or discipline. These students shall apply for admission following the procedures applicable to other applicants if they wish to return to school.

Referring to Clause 5, Article 2 of the Regulation on undergraduate education in Vietnam promulgated together with Circular No. 08/2021/TT-BGDDT stipulating as follows:

...
5. Maximum time limit for students to complete a course shall be stipulated in the training institution regulation but shall not be longer than twice the study duration according to the standard learning plan for the whole course for each mode of study. For students who take bridge programs and whose accumulated credits have been accounted for, maximum time limit for them to complete a course shall be determined by deducting the amount of study time corresponding to the completed academic load from the study duration according to the standard learning plan of the whole course.
According to the above regulations, the duration of temporary leave for personal reason shall be counted towards the full-time study time.
At the same time, the maximum time limit for students to complete a course shall be stipulated in the training institution regulation but shall not be longer than twice the study duration according to the standard learning plan for the whole course for each mode of study.
For students who take bridge programs and whose accumulated credits have been accounted for, maximum time limit for them to complete a course shall be determined by deducting the amount of study time corresponding to the completed academic load from the study duration according to the standard learning plan of the whole course.
Therefore, students need to ensure the duration of temporary leave for personal reason plus the full-time study time should not be longer than twice the study duration according to the standard learning plan for the whole course for each mode of study.
