To benefit from a gap year, you need to make an appointment with the guidance counsellor. The procedure generally involves submitting an application including a detailed project of what the student plans to do during this period. Applications must be submitted between mid-June and mid-July in order to begin the gap year at the start of the following academic year. The project must demonstrate the constructive and formative nature of the gap year. The application is then examined by a committee that assesses the relevance and feasibility of the proposed project.
The gap year may or may not be granted by a committee, which will judge the relevance of the project. If the gap year is approved, an educational contract is signed between the institution and the future student.
