When Your Supervisor Goes on Leave
Supervisors should ensure that students have accurate information about any planned,
long leave or retirement during the candidature and about the arrangements to be
made to provide for supervision during absences. Before going on leave, your supervisor
should meet with you to discuss supervision arrangements during the period of leave.
In the case of co-supervision, the co-supervisor will normally take over responsibility
for supervision in the principal supervisor's absence. Another co-supervisor may
also be nominated.
Where a co-supervisor has not been nominated, it is the responsibility of the supervisor,
Academic Units and student to ensure that appropriate supervisory arrangements are
in place before the supervisor goes on leave.
