Cancellations
Temporary leave
Any temporary leave will be discounted from the time needed to complete the thesis.
In case of sick leave, maternity leave or any other cause covered by current law, if the PhD student wishes it to be calculated as such, he or she must inform the Doctorate School within one month from the start of the leave, and submit the corresponding certification.
In the case of other justified reasons, the PhD student may apply for temporary leave for a maximum period of one year, and a minimum of four months, which can be extended for up to a further year. The application and its documentary justification must be directed to the Doctorate School, which will send it for assessment to the Committee designated for the purpose (see model application and decision).
If the situation of temporary leave does not allow the annual report to be registered in sigma, it will not be subject to evaluation, and it will be necessary to re-register the same guardianship.
Important: In case of the student being the beneficiary of a grant, it must be detailed in the request.
