Allowed  No N/A  -


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  factors to consider 

Summary:

Graduate student who had completed all course-work and comprehensive exam requirements in April. No compelling connection to his academic institution or to rigorous time schedules. Full-time student who has a great deal of flexibility of course hours and duration. Prepared to change status.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  disentitlement not automatic 

Summary:

I conclude that the Board erred in law when it concluded that existing jurisprudence excludes full-time students from receiving UI benefits and that the Board cannot render a decision based on a promise by the claimant that he would change his full-time status to part-time in the event of a job.
