Hello, Students,\u00a0This online process through MyGrad replaces the old paper form for on-leave status.\u00a0 Please note that you must maintain \u201con leave\u201d status each quarter.<\/p>\n

The new leave system is ready for use and the process is simple:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Student submits the on-leave request via MyGrad-Student View:\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Department approves the request from the task list on their MyGradProgram (MGP) main page (similar to petitions \u2013 no email notification will be sent to the department).<\/li>\n
  3. For international students, the request is then sent to the International Student Services Office (ISS) for approval<\/li>\n
  4. Student is notified by email to submit an online credit card payment for the quarterly $25 nonrefundable fee (only MasterCard or Visa may be used and there is no service charge for credit card use).\u00a0 On-Leave status is not finalized until payment has been submitted, and must be completed by the last day of instruction for the quarter of leave requested.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Students with financial aid, loans, or enrolled in the Graduate Appointee Insurance Program (GAIP) should consult with the Office of Financial Aid or the UW Benefits Office to prevent a loss of aid, loan repayment, or benefit coverage.<\/p>\n

    Both GPAs and GPCs have been assigned the \u201cLeave Request Approval\u201d role in MGP.\u00a0 Graduate programs will be allowed to a submit leave request and pay the leave fee on behalf of a student in MGP, but this feature is still being developed and we anticipate its release within the last week of October.\u00a0 For additional information regarding On-Leave policies and procedures, please visit:\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

    Thank you, please let us know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
