Planned Leave

Planned Educational Leave It is a university requirement that graduate students maintain continuous attendance throughout the course of their study for the master's degree. Any graduate student in good academic standing may request a Planned Graduate Student Leave. Reasons for seeking a leave are likely to be varied, but all applicants should intend to return to formal study within a specified time period. The minimum initial leave will be one full term; the maximum will be one calendar year. Under compelling circumstances, a student may request, in writing and in advance, an extension of the leave. The total number of approved Planned Graduate Student Leaves may not exceed two, and the duration of Planned Graduate Student Leaves may not total more than two calendar years. The Planned Graduate Student Leave is approved at the discretion of the student's graduate coordinator.  

For more information on planned leaves, contact the CCPE Registration Office at 310-243-3741, option 1 or ceereg@csudh.edu and/or consult with your program coordinator.
