General Information
Leave periods are not included in the time period for completion of the degree, and tuition is not assessed during leave. Typically, nominal student fees are assessed during the leave period. While a student is on leave, all advisory and supervisory processes and progress on academic and research work are paused.
While on leave, students are registered into a ‘maintenance of status’ placeholder which allows them to retain registered student status.
Types of Leaves
Leaves of absence are available to graduate students under the following categories:
- Personal or health
- Maternity/adoption and parental
- Professional
- Leaves to pursue an additional program of study
The Department Administrator will submit the leave request through this ticket request:
Within the ticket you will have the option to submit any documentation for leaves, if necessary. Please double-check dates requested by student. Please review the students record to verify they are registered in all the required terms for their program.
