How do you apply for parental leave?

You apply for parental leave via SPOC

 

How to apply for parental leave

Through spoc.sdu.dk you can either inform Educational Law & Registration, that you want parental leave of absence or you can contact your study board if you want a dispensatio. You also need to inform in which period you want to take the parental leave.

  • If you would like a dispensation, you need to find the “dispensations” page  in SPOC.
  • If you want leave because of parental leave, you need to select “leave of absence” in SPOC.

In both cases, you need to attach a scan of your maternity journal or the birth certificate.

You might possibly contact your student counselling

It might be a good idea to discuss your parental leave plans with the counsellor in your programme. There might be circumstances in your programme that you should be aware of. For instance, there might be subjects that it might make sense to try to finish despite parental leave.
