With limited exceptions, quitting employment to attend school, no matter how commendable the intention, is not a basis for quitting a job, or cutting back the hours, with good cause, thereby being eligible for unemployment benefits. To learn more about the law in this area, I suggest you go to http://www.edd.ca.gov/UIBDG/Voluntary_Quit_VQ_40.htm#General Rule .
