Family Medical Leave Policy
Graduate students in need of a leave of absence due to medical or family emergencies, including the birth of a child, may request a one semester (or in rare cases an academic year) absence from their regular degree programs. Any time constraint on the degree requirements, such as the Master's degree time limit or time limits on Qualifying and Preliminary examinations, will be automatically extended by the length of the leave of absence. However, the Graduate College seven year clock for doctoral studies does not stop by a leave of absence. Any extension to this time limit must requested by petition to the Graduate College.
