Planned Educational Leave Program (PELP)

For undergraduate students who want to interrupt their regular education for one year or less while clarifying educational goals, gaining practical experience away from campus, or enhancing the prospect of successful completion of an academic program. Students must have completed at least one quarter of course work at UCR and be in good academic standing to qualify. Students holding F-1 visas cannot participate in this program. Information on PELP is available from the dean of the student’s college, the Counseling Center, and the Office of the Registrar.
