If you are planning to interupt your studies, you must apply for approved leave by the end of the third week of Semester Two. Otherwise, you are expected to maintain a valid enrolment in at least one unit of study in each calendar year.
If you do not gain approval for a period of leave you will be regarded as having discontinued your studies, and should you seek to resume your studies, you will have to apply for readmission.
Consult the University policy on Approved Leave before lodging an application.
Lodging an application
Students must lodge the application for approved leave in person, by post, or fax with Student Administration. Email or phone requests are not accepted.
Selecting dates
Our Student Information System will automatically exclude enrolment in units where the teaching period (usually a semester or trimester) overlaps with a granted period of leave.
Therefore, you should carefully consider your leave dates as any overlap may preclude you from re-enrolling in the future.
Most students need only apply for dates covering Semester One, Semester Two or both semesters. Approved leave is not required for the summer vacation for these students. If students wish to cancel their approved leave, they must write a letter to Student Adminstration.
Re-commencing study
Students who are granted approved leave must ensure that they re-enrol within the stipulated re-enrolment dates.
Students who have discontinued their studies and have not obtained approved leave must apply for re-admission to their course. If re-admission is granted students will be required to pay the student contribution amounts or tuition fees applicable for commencing students in that particular year.
