====== Paid and Unpaid Leave of Absence ======

The University of Minnesota policy on paid and unpaid leave is given [[https://policy.umn.edu/hr/gradstudentemployment-appf|here]]. Graduate teaching assistants do not receive paid vacation other than official University of Minnesota holidays. The University does not recognize the time between terms as holidays. 

Graduate Assistants (both, TA and RA, not those on fellowships) who receive a Fall or Spring semester appointment may request up to three (3) days of paid personal leave each semester. Graduate Assistants who have a summer appointment may request up to three (3) personal days over the summer term.

TAs are paid to work as a TA throughout the academic year. Although the Physics Department typically does not assign TA duties after final exam grades are recorded, TAs are obliged to carry out any duties associated with teaching assistantship even if they fall during the break time.
