Change in employment or student status may remove eligibility to participate
in University of Washington on-site childcare centers and require that an enrolled child be
withdrawn as follows:
a.
Separation and Termination
Employees who voluntarily leave University of Washington employment or whose employment is
terminated by the University may keep their child enrolled in a University of Washington
children's center until the end of the month in which they separate from University employment.
b.
Layoff
Employees who are laid off from University employment may continue their child's enrollment
at a University of Washington children's center for up to three months from the date of layoff.
c.
Leave
Employees on approved leave who remove their child from the center during the leave period, may retain their space in a children's center by continuing to pay the monthly tuition. At the discretion of the center's director, another child may be temporarily enrolled in that space, which will relieve the employee on leave from the responsibility for paying tuition so long as the space is filled.
d.
Graduation
Students who graduate from the University of Washington in Autumn, Winter, or Spring quarter
may continue their child's enrollment at a children's center until the end of June of that
academic year. Students graduating in the summer may have their child enrolled until the end
of August of the same year.
e.
Academic Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from the University of Washington may continue their child's
enrollment at a children's center for the remainder of the academic quarter in which
they withdraw. Students who re-enroll at the University for the following quarter will
be able to continue their child's enrollment by providing 30 days notice to the
childcare center director.
