Salary stipend may be suspended for the duration of the leave, based on the type of leave. Payment of the salary stipend resumes upon return from leave for the period necessary to disburse the expected value of the salary stipend documented in the award letter (i.e. if a WDS receives $10,000 per year for 5 years as salary stipend, they will receive a total of $50,000 by the end of the term of their award).

Research stipend continues to be disbursed annually for the first term of the award (5 years for WDS; 7 years for JMP). Research funds may be used for commitments made prior to the leave (i.e. student salary) during the leave.

Any residual research funds following the period of leave may be carried forward for use during the extension of the term of the award, with the approval of the Associate Provost (Equity and Academic Policies).

Leave of absence In general, during unpaid leaves of absence from the University the award holder may only keep the award title and none of the related funds. These leaves do not lead to an extension of the award, nor can the funds be accumulated during the period of the leave. Please contact crc.provost [at] mcgill.ca听if you have questions.
