ensure that any legal requirements, including those imposed by his or her funding or grant<br />
authority, are met. Current students must check their MyEd and <strong>University</strong> email account<br />
frequently <strong>for</strong> communications from the <strong>University</strong>.<br />
Leave <strong>of</strong> Absence<br />

study away from <strong>Edinburgh</strong> requires College approval after consideration <strong>of</strong> an application<br />

prescribed period <strong>of</strong> study, unless authorised by the Head <strong>of</strong> College.<br />
Extensions <strong>of</strong> Study<br />
29. A student must complete the requirements <strong>of</strong> the degree programme within the<br />

authorised by the Head <strong>of</strong> College if there is good reason. The student must provide<br />
evidence to support their application. The College may extend a student's period <strong>of</strong><br />
registration by up to two years. Extensions beyond this time are not permitted.<br />
