How to take time off

You can apply to take Approved Leave from your studies for a semester or a whole year. We’ll put you on intermission and keep your student account active while you take a break. Apply for leave on studentConnect by selecting 'Course Details' then 'Discontinuation/Approved leave' up until the academic withdrawal date for the current semester or trimester. If your application for leave is approved, you’ll be withdrawn from your units. This can have financial or academic consequences depending on the date you apply. Check ‘How to change my enrolment’ to see if there are penalties for being withdrawn from your units or contact your Student Advising Office if you’re unsure.

How to withdraw

You can withdraw from your whole course on studentConnect at any point after commencing your studies (select 'Course Details', then 'Discontinuation/Approved leave') Before you withdraw, we recommend speaking to your Student Advising Office to discuss other options like Approved Leave, a course transfer or a change of major. When you withdraw from your course, you’ll also be withdrawn from your units. This can have a financial or academic penalty, depending on the date you withdraw. Check ‘How to change my enrolment’ to see if there’s a penalty for withdrawing from your units or speak with your Student Advising Office if you’re unsure.
