  • Supporting documentation may be required
• The Associate Dean/Chair will forward information to the Director indicating support for the request
• The Program Committee will deliberate if leave of absence will be granted for up to one academic year
  • If granted, leave of absence protocols at the Home University apply
• Associate Dean/Chair will inform the Office of the Secretariat whether leave of absence is approved by the Home University ​
