I.
8.4 On Leave Status
One constituent of graduate work is that a considerable length of
time is devoted to concentrated work in one particular area of
research. It is therefore desirable that a graduate degree
involve several consecutive semesters of uninterrupted research.
However, a student may apply to go on leave under the following
circumstances:
a.
When a situation arises which makes it necessary or desiiable
for him to interrupt his work.
b.
When he will make no substantial use of University facilities.
Permission to register on leave must be approved by the student's
Supervisory Committee and the Graduate Program Committee. Students
on leave are required to register during the normal registration -
period for each semester by indicating on leave status on their
current registration form. If a student does not register, he is
considered to have withdrawn from the University.
Note: ?
The change is in the last paragraph above. It previously
read:
"Applications for leave shall be made by the student to his
Supervisory Committee at least two weeks before the beginning
of the semester in which he proposes to go on leave. The
Supervisory Committee, if it approves the application, will
send it to the Graduate Program Committee for final approval.
Approved applications shall be sent for information to the
Assistant Registrar for Graduate Studies and the Student
Society.
Students on leave are required to register during the normal
.
?
registration period for every semester they are on leave. If
a student does not register, he is considered to have withdrawn
from the University."
