FAST FACTS

 

 

Please Note: leave is administered through the English Department. Please make sure to speak with the Graduate Adviser as early as you are able to start the process of securing paid leave as per UC policy:

All the UCs have recently renewed a three-year contract (2010-2013) with the UAW for ASEs (Academic Student Employees, i.e., graduate students with teaching titles). Thus all TAs (and related titles) are eligible for up to four weeks of paid leave for childbirth. This perforce applies only to female graduate students; however, new birth fathers may take up to two weeks of paid leave; and ASEs of either sex may take up to two weeks of paid leave for a newly adopted child.
