Maternity Paternity Adoption

Please make note that you do not need to contact us directly if you are about to go on Parental Leave. The Student Records team will make us aware of the change of your records. Only at that point we will be able to update your financial records

  • UKRI-funded students are entitled to payment for maternity, adoption, paternity and shared parental leave as outlined in the University of Warwick Policy.
  • Students who are funded by the University of Warwick (central or department) are entitled to payment for maternity, adoption, paternity and shared parental leave as outlined in the University of Warwick Policy.
  • Students who receive other external funding, either directly from an external organisation or an external award administered through the University of Warwick, must consult with their department finance team to determine whether payments can be made during periods resulting from maternity, adoption, paternity and shared parental leave. If the funder does not provide additional money to fund periods of leave, the University is not liable to provide any payment.
  • Students who are self-funded (and those entitled to tuition fee only awards), are entitled to the periods of leave detailed within this policy, but will not be eligible for any financial support from the University.
  • Payments made to University-funded students who are either part-time, or only part-funded by the University, will be subject to a pro-rata adjustment in line with the percentage of funding received. Part time status is at 60% in terms of funding and attendance requirements / expectations.
