If you become a parent and want parental leave during your study, you must apply for parental leave.
Parental Leave
Documentation
Please attach one of the following forms of documentation when you apply:
- Medical journal with your due date
- Birth certificate
- Adoption certificate
- Acknowledgement of paternity or co-motherhood
General rules on pregnancy
- It is important to distinguish between maternity and pregnancy. Pregnancy does not in itself constitute an unusual situation and does not justify exemption. If you experience illness during your pregnantcy that affects your studies, you may submit an application for sick leave or apply for exemption separately.
- When is parental leave granted? You can contact your study counsellor for a talk about the best to start and end your parental leave.
- SU: Parental leave can affect your SU. It is therefore important that you examine your SU situation and possibly contact your SU counsellor in the study administration.
- Residence permit: If you are not a Danish citizen and are on parental leave or other leave, you may risk losing your residence permit. If you have a residence permit because you are a student, you must be active as a student to keep your residence permit. The Board of International Recruitment and Integration does not consider a student to be active during parental leave.
- Parental leave does not count in the maximum period of study time
