'Intermission' is the term applied when candidates seek leave from their research studies.
Students seeking leave of absence/intermission from their studies should apply in writing to the subdean for approval. The maximum period of leave/intermission which may be granted at any one time is twelve months. If a longer period is sought the student will be required to formally discontinue and apply for re-admission when ready to recommence their studies.
