Graduate Student Leave of Absence
The College is committed to the success of its students and has established the College Graduate Student Leave of Absence as a guideline that provides all College graduate students with an opportunity to take care of uncontrollable events that interfere with a student’s ability to work towards a degree.
The College Graduate Student Leave of Absence may provide up to two years of relief from coursework and degree milestones. Most Leaves of Absence are granted to students who need to be away from their studies for family or medical reasons (Family and Medial Leave), or to perform military service. Students who have at least a 37.5 FTE academic appointment are also eligible for up to six-weeks of paid Family & Medical Leave. This includes teaching assistants, research assistants, associate instructors, and faculty assistants who receive University-paid health benefits. Unpaid discretionary leaves are granted for students with reasons other than family or medical. All College Graduate Student Leaves of Absences are reviewed and granted on a case by case basis.
