1999 Law Handbook - Leave of absence*

Leave of absence*

*GRADUATE STUDENTS SHOULD REFER TO THE HEADING 'LEAVE OF ABSENCE/INTERMISSION OF STUDIES' IN THE CHAPTER CALLED 'THE GRADUATE PROGRAM'.
Students may apply for leave of absence not exceeding one year at any given time. By granting such leave the faculty reserves a place in the course in the following year. However, the period of approved leave will be counted in the time limit for completion of the course.
Applications for leave of absence should be made in writing to the assistant registrar, Faculty of Law and the reasons for requesting the leave should be stated. If students have enrolled for the year in respect of which leave is requested, in addition to submitting an application for leave, it is necessary to lodge a discontinuation of course form to cancel enrolment for the year. Students should carefully note the deadlines for submitting discontinuation forms.
