aCademiC leave
Students may apply for academic leave for health reasons, starting service in the Defence Forces, parental leave and other reasons.
ȣ Academic leave for health reasons is granted for up to two years. Applying for academic leave for health reasons requires the student to include a certificate from a medical institution to the application con- taining a physician’s recommendation for the necessity and length of academic leave.
ȣ When starting service in the Defence Forces, the student is enabled academic leave for up to one year. The student must attach the call-up notice to join the Defence Forces to the academic leave application.
ȣ In the event of parental leave, the student is enabled academic leave until the child attains three years of age. The student must attach a copy of the child’s birth certificate to the application.
ȣ For other reasons (e.g., financial difficul- ties, family problems, working abroad and so on) a student has the right to apply for academic leave for up to one year during the standard period of study in every study level.
The application must be submitted via ÕIS. Academic leave for other reasons may be applied only during the pre-week of the semester. In case of health reasons, starting service in the Defence Forces or parental leave, the academic leave may be applied for when it is necessary, but not after the end of semester’s second
study period. Students in their first semester of studies are eligible for academic leave only on health grounds, starting service in the Estonian Defence Forces or caring for a child less than three years of age.
Please consult with your study coordinator or academic counsellor before taking academic leave.
