What are AWOL students called?

There isn't one single, universally used term for students who are AWOL (Absent Without Leave). The terminology varies depending on the institution (school, college, university) and its policies. However, some common terms or phrases used include:

* Absent: This is a general term and often the most common one used in official records.

* Non-attending: This implies the student is not participating in classes but might not necessarily be considered AWOL yet (depending on the institution's policies regarding notification and absences).

* Withdrawn (unofficially): If a student stops attending but hasn't formally withdrawn, this might be used informally.

* Inactive: This term might be used to describe a student's status in the system.

* Truant: This term is more commonly used for younger students (K-12) who are habitually absent without explanation.

The specific term used will depend on the school's administrative practices and the reason for the absence. A student officially declared AWOL by the institution will likely have a designation reflecting this in their records, but the exact wording can vary.
