Intermission of enrolment (post commencement of course)

Before you decide to intermit studies, it is recommended that you discuss the matter with a Faculty Adviser of Studies. It is also advisable to consult with staff from the counselling and/or careers services.

Intermission may be granted in all undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and faculties set policies regarding the administration of this process.

Discussion with a Lecturer or an Adviser of Studies does not constitute official notification of an intention to intermit studies. You must complete an Intermission of Studies Form available from your local Student Administration Office or Faculty Office. This form can be lodged at your Student Administration Office or Faculty Office.

Your student ID card must be handed in with the Intermission of Studies Form.

It is not normally necessary to attend the University in person to seek intermission of course attempt. Written applications using the 'Application for Intermission of Studies' form should be submitted directly to the Course Coordinator/Adviser of Studies from the faculty responsible for the administration of the course or local Student Administration Office for domestic campuses.

Enquiries involving possible suspension of research and higher degree studies should be made directly to the Research and Graduate Studies Office.

Students cannot intermit their course enrolment to avoid the requirement to 'Show Cause' for unsatisfactory academic progress in a given academic year.

In the first instance all enquiries concerning intermission of enrolment should be directed to your Faculty Office or your local Student Administration Office.
