Job Aid 6th Year Extension Change Requests

What to do if Your Postdoc Wants to Work Overseas

For Sixth Year Requests

• Review Sections 2F and 2G of RPH 10.3 to see if your postdoc might qualify for an exception to policy.
• If your postdoc qualifies, determine if the request will be submitted under 2G or 2F.
• Request packets may be submitted on a rolling basis, no monthly deadline.
• Standard 2G Exception Requests take 3-4 weeks.
• Expedited 2F Exception Requests are usually faster.
• Submit early (90-120 days+ prior to appointment end date).
