Masters Program - Taking two years off to work?

[BrownChocolate]

Hello,

Is it possible to take two years break during my Masters program?

I'm in a professionals Masters program that is two years long at OISE. I have completed one year - woot woot! However....

I need to take two years off to work and support family before I can finish the program's final year. A few months ago, I talked with faculty about taking an year off to work, and they said no problem, one year is not a problem. However, I need to take two years off because off the OSAP cuts and the impact it has had, I calculate that I will need two years. So if I take two years off, will my degree be cancelled or rendered null?

Because I want to come back to school when I have money and finish it.

You would have to talk to the program directly. Can you drop to part time status? Your program should have a handbook. Read through there. There should be some information regarding time to completion.
