Intercalation (university administration)

Intercalation, in the context of University administration is defined as a period when a student is officially suspended from studying for an academic degree. The grounds for intercalation to be granted are varied, though most commonly they are on compassionate or medical grounds. Often, intercalation has been granted to allow students time away from the University to gain industrial or job experience within their degree studies. Medical students in the UK often have an intercalated year in order to pursue another degree (usually medically related) for a year.
