Family Leave Policy

  • Students may request a leave of absence of up to two consecutive quarters in order to take a childbearing or parental leave (this applies, as well, to cases of adoption). Additionally, students who bear primary responsibility for elder care may also request a maximum of a two-quarter leave of absence. Students asking for such two-quarter leaves must make a formal request in writing to both their advisors and the Chair of Graduate Review Committee. Note that, per Graduate Division regulations, leaves of absence do not stop the clock for time to degree.
