What happens if I take a Leave of Absence?

A contract holder on official leave for a minimum of six months may suspend their contract for the duration of the leave.

  1. Submit the Suspension of Contract Due to Leave form.
  2. Your current parking contract will be canceled.
  3. Notify parking@umn.edu when you have returned from leave.
  4. If space is available at your previously contracted parking facility, the contract will be reinstated. If the facility is full upon return, you will receive the first available contract from the wait list.

If the leave is less than six months, you can either:

  1. Cancel the contract and purchase a new contract upon return from leave, subject to wait lists.
  2. Retain the contract. As the contract holder, you will remain responsible for the parking contract for the duration of the leave. If the contract is payroll-deducted and you will not be receiving paychecks, you can arrange payment by emailing parking@umn.edu.

If your request for suspension is less than 6 months or if you return in less than 6 months from the start date of your leave, your submission of the form will not be honored.
