A leave of absence during the school year is not permitted except in unusual circumstances. Students who only complete one term are considered half-time students for promotion or supplemental purposes. A leave of absence of one year or more is permitted upon notification to the Associate Dean's Office before the commencement of the academic year. Students ordinarily must complete the LL.B. requirements within five years in order to receive that degree. Students wishing to complete the LL.B. requirements beyond the five year period must obtain permission from the Associate Dean.
Some exchange programs are available with other universities, both nationally and internationally.
Students can spend a term away from the University of Saskatchewan attending a francophone law school or an exchange law school. For more information about a francophone exchange contact the articling officer and for information about exchanges in general contact the Associate Dean at the College of Law.
