PLEASE NOTE: Jury Duty is a legal obligation, and our general guidelines do not supersede the processes of any jurisdiction. Court processes may vary, so please contact the number on your summons should you have any questions. While the DGSOM can compose a letter on your behalf, it is your responsibility to mail the form. Only a letter or notification from the court serves as an exemption.
Procedure:
First Time Receiving a Jury Summons Call - Call the Jury Service hotline telephone number listed on the summons to request a postponement of your service date. Select a date as far ahead as possible as all jurors are entitled to one postponement. On occasion, doing so will remove you from the jury pool altogether.
Second Jury Summons - If you receive a second summons, or were informed that you will not receive a second summons, request a Jury Duty Exemption Letter one month prior to your service date. Complete and submit a Document Request Form with the pertinent information from your summons. The completed form may be returned via email to registrar@mednet.ucla.edu, via fax (310) 794-9574 or by placing it in the Registrar mailbox (Geffen Hall, Suite 200). Processing time is 3-5 business days depending on time of year and volume of requests.
You will receive an email, from the School of Medicine Registrar, when the letter is available to pick up from the SAO.
After the Jury Summons and Exemption Letter has been mailed, call the original Jury Service hotline telephone number, listed on the summons, and ask to speak with a court specialist to explain your situation and request to have your summons placed on "hold' while the Exemption Letter is processed by the court system.
You MUST speak with a court specialist. Your service will be placed on "hold" for 30 days. This should be adequate time for the court system to process the Exemption Letter. The process of reaching a court specialist over the phone is tedious and can take up to a 30 minute telephone hold time. If your jury duty service in not placed on "hold" while the letter is being process it could result in a re-summoning to jury duty, and you could be considered as a "failed to appear in court" if your assigned or selected jury duty service date has passed.
An approved Leave of Absence (LOA) is defined by an absence from the curriculum of more than six consecutive weeks. Students on an approved Leave of Absence for any reasons other than an Academic Leave of Absence do not pay registration fees, are not permitted to enroll in required or elective medical school Blocks, Courses or Clerkships, and will not receive credit for any completed coursework (i.e., M.B.A., M.P.H., M.P.P., Ph.D. programs, research, etc.).

With the exception of students participating in MSTP, the maximum period for an approved Leave of Absence is one academic year, which may be extended for one additional academic year upon review on an individual basis by the Committee on Academic Standing, Progress, and Promotion (CASPP). If the student is not ready to return after two years of an approved LOA, the student may elect to withdraw from DGSOM, the student may petition CASPP for an extension of their LOA, or based on individual circumstances may be dismissed from DGSOM by CASPP.
Any student who requires more than one week but less than six weeks of time off from the curriculum may request "Time Off" by submitting a "Time Off From Curriculum Request Form" to the Student Affairs Office. There may be a variety of reasons for granting this request, as determined by the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. Students interested in taking time off from the curriculum must first contact the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, who will consider the merits of each individual case and work with the individual student and appropriate faculty.
