Furlough

What is the the word when a university student takes a semester off and continue his education after that?

I can think of Educational furlough and educational leave. but I don't know whatthe correct word is for this concept.

Thanks for your help in advance

There is no official approval of such an act, and it is not a regular one, so there is no specific term for it. 'Furlough' is military; 'leave' is work-related. The student simply 'took a semester off', as far as I know.
