If you need time to deal with things at home, need to work full-time, are starting a family or simply want a break from your studies then you should consider applying for a leave of absence.
You may apply for a maximum of four sessions leave of absence in a four-year period.
Before you apply, make sure you're eligible.
You cannot apply for a leave of absence:
If you need to return home temporarily or place your study on hold due to illness (for example), you will need to apply for a Leave of Absence (LOA).
You must complete your course by the end date on your electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (COE).
For more information read the about Leave of Absence in Section 14 Enrolment Policy
Submit your application for leave using Student Admin Online.
If your application does not exceed the maximum time allowed, it will generally be automatically approved.
The final date to lodge your application for leave is 12am (midnight) on the census date for the relevant session.
If Leave of Absence is approved, your enrolment for that session will be deleted and replaced with Leave of Absence. You should allow 21 days for processing and then check your online transcript for confirmation.
