What is leave of absence from a college called?

There isn't one single name for a leave of absence from college. The term used varies by institution, but common names include:

* Leave of Absence (LOA): This is the most common and generally understood term.

* Withdrawal (temporary): Some colleges might use this term if the leave is explicitly temporary. A permanent withdrawal is different.

* Suspension (rarely used for voluntary leaves): This term is usually reserved for disciplinary actions, not voluntary leaves.

It's best to check your specific college's policies and student handbook to see the exact terminology they use.
