The Graduate School’s
Fall 2021
Timely Topics Series
Timely Topics is a series of opportunities to engage with subject matter experts on topics relevant to those who support and advise graduate students and programs. Every session is available to all UConn faculty and staff. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming session:
GA Leave, Academic Leave, or Time Off?
This session will cover the differences between GA leave (including medical), academic leave of absence, and GA time off requests and which is the most appropriate for different circumstances. We will discuss policies and procedures, contractual obligations, and supervisor obligation in determining approvals. We will use case scenarios to explore best practices, implications of each on student and employment status, and other surrounding factors and options.
