Best practice policy sessions, co-hosted by the Graduate School and Academic Support Resources (ASR), were held on November 27 and 29. The sessions, attended by a number of program and college staff, provided the opportunity to summarize key components of the University's new Leave of Absence (LOA) policy for graduate and professional students; underscore the differences between GRAD 999, LOA, and withdrawing from coursework and/or a program; and discuss a variety of common requests for which a LOA may or may not be appropriate (depending on the student's individual circumstances).
An online 'tutorial' will be created to capture the content of the best practice sessions for programs' and colleges' future reference. More best practice sessions will be scheduled to focus on the University's other new graduate education policies; if you have questions about the LOA policy, contact Karen Starry. If you have questions about the PeopleSoft process for putting a student on an LOA or indicated a return from leave, contact the Student Records Training and Support Team.
