Break in Study Guidance

Break in Study Guidance


Sometimes you may need to take a temporary break from your studies. A Leave of Absence (LOA) allows you to pause your studies and return at a later date, subject to University approval.

This guidance explains when a Leave of Absence may be appropriate, how to apply, and what you should consider before requesting one. It also includes specific information for students studying overseas through the University’s Transnational Education (TNE) partnerships.

Please read the guidance carefully before making a request, as taking a Leave of Absence can have implications for your studies, fees and your return to the course.
