Committee 

SUBJECT: ? 

"On Leave" Status 

?

DATE: 23 September 1988 

I have been asked for a clarification of the criteria for a 

student registering "on-leave" (regulation 1.8.4). It has always 

been my understanding that both items a) and b) in the regulation 

must be true for a student to register "on-leave"; that is, the 

student must interrupt the graduate work and must not make 

substantial use of S.F.U. facilities. This seems to me the most 

logical interpretation of the regulation, taken as a whole and a 

proper definition of "on-leave" status. 

I therefore propose to add the conjunction "and" so that 

items a) and b) would read: 

a)

When a situation arises which makes it necessary or 

desirable to interrupt the work, and 

b)

When no substantial use will be made of university 

facilities. 

This matter will be on the agenda of the next meeting of the 

S.G.S.C. Please bring forward this memorandum.
