Parental Accommodation Request Form

Form Type: Records and Registration
Form For: Current Students

Description

Use this form to apply for a Parental Accommodation.

Further Information:

Full-time graduate students in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress towards completion of their degree may request an eight-week parental accommodation period surrounding the arrival of a new child. The policy makes it possible for students to maintain full-time student status during this period by standardizing a minimum level of academic accommodation. Eligible students maintain full-time registered student status during this period, with all the benefits of such status. They are also entitled to extended deadlines for meeting standard academic progress targets. Students must have completed at least one term of full-time study in their programs to be eligible.

Please refer to the Graduate Studies Policy Manual for more information about the Graduate Student Parental Accommodation Policy.
