NEW: Graduate Student Personal Time Off Policy

SGS is aware that you are more likely to reach your full potential in graduate studies when you are able to take time off for physical and intellectual rest and rejuvenation. 

This past spring SGS created a Personal Time Off Policy that enables graduate students (in both research- and professional-stream programs) to take personal time off each academic year. Under this policy, you can to take up to 15 days off annually during an academic year (September to August) to support your wellbeing and mental and physical health.

You can visit our Understanding Personal Time Off page to learn more about the specific details of the policy.
