Interruptions of Study

What to do if you are unable to study for a period of time and need an Authorised Interruption of Study (AIS).

Extensions

An extension to a student’s period of study is exceptional and a strong case is required before an extension will be considered.

Leave of absence

Postgraduate students may apply for leave to move away from their normal (semester time) residence to continue their studies for temporary periods at a more remote location.

Leave of absence

The university has produced a guide for staff who need to help distressed students.
