Leave of absence and deferment

Undergraduate and graduate students who experience difficulties during the year, or who wish to take a year off study for any reason, can obtain leave of absence or deferment. By granting such leave the faculty reserves a place in the course in the following year and the period of approved leave will not be counted in the time limit for completion of the course. Leave of absence is normally granted for one year only.

Note that Bachelor of Accounting students who defer may relinquish their scholarship.

Application forms for leave of absence are available from the relevant administration office. The reasons for requesting the leave should be stated on the form. Students should carefully note the deadlines for submitting forms as discontinuation of a course has implications for the refund of fees.
