What is Manage LOA?

A leave of absence (LOA) tells a server or department you’ll be away for a while. Manage LOA lists every server and department you’re in. Pick one to request or manage your LOA there. Each server or department handles LOAs separately, with its own rules.

​
Requesting an LOA

1

Pick the server or department

Open Manage LOA and click the server or department.
2

Fill in the form

Add a Reason (up to 1024 characters), choose a Start Type and set the dates.
3

Submit

Click Submit request. Administrators review it and you’ll see the result here.
Servers can set a minimum and maximum LOA length, and a cooldown between requests. If you’re on cooldown, the page tells you when you can request again. You can only have one LOA in progress at a time.

​
While Your LOA is Pending

Your request shows as awaiting review. Click Cancel request to withdraw it. If it’s accepted with a future start date, it shows as planned to start. Click Start LOA now to begin it early.

​
During Your LOA

You can have one extension request pending at a time. While it’s pending you can cancel it. Click View history under Extension Requests to see past extensions and whether they were approved or denied.

​
Leave History

Your past LOAs are listed under Leave History. Expand one to see its timeline: when you submitted it, who reviewed it, when it started and ended, and any extensions.
