Withdrawal and intermission
Withdrawal (Discontinuation of Enrolment)
Course withdrawal is also known as discontinuation of enrolment. It is important that you are certain of your decision, as after you withdraw from a course, you are not longer an enrolled student at La Trobe.Before you decide to discontinue 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.
Discussion with a Lecturer or an Adviser of Studies does not constitute official notification of an intention to discontinue studies. You must complete a Discontinuation of Enrolment Form available from your local Student Administration Office or Faculty Office. This form must be signed by LTI and then needs to be lodged at your Student Administration Office or Faculty Office.
Your student ID card must be handed in with the Discontinuation of Enrolment Form.
Intermission of enrolment (after commencement of course)
Before you decide to intermit studies, it is recommended that you discuss the matter with a Faculty Adviser of Studies and international students should consult a member of the Student Life team at LTI. 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 mean that you have officially notified the University of your intention to intermit studies. You must complete an Intermission of Studies Form available from your local Student Administration Office or Faculty Office. This form must be signed by LTI and then needs to be lodged at your Student Administration Office or Faculty Office.
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.
Your student ID card must be handed in with the Intermission of Studies Form.
