you may apply for suspension of enrollment; you may request a leave of absence
Explanation:
The main point here is that the student has the right to return to the university, which is valuable given the scarcity of "vagas" for entering students. You can choose either of the above. This situation is extremely common in Brazil.

There must be indeed students having sabatticals, which is a formal kind of arrangement as the term is used here, but all the \"trancamentos\" I see are students who\'ve taken off to the States to seek their fortunes and try to get a permanent visa.....so they come to me to get their documents translated...

confirmation of the registration


Explanation:
"...you may solicit a confirmation of the registration..."

Perhaps the context can determine whether or not this is the correct interpretation...

I was thinking more along the lines of \"locking in,\" but apparently this is not correct. Anyone have any comments on \"suspension of enrollment?\" Is this closer to the meaning? Thanks in advance!

  -> Does it mean "suspension of enrollment"? Sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick!
disagree  Rafa Lombardino: confirmation of registration only happens when you start a new course for which you've been approved... when you're leaving the course not knowing if you're coming back, it's another story...
