Leave of Absence Policy
Leave of Absence Policy
This page explains the framework that may apply where a student seeks to pause participation after commencement, registration, or active enrolment.
1. Scope
This policy applies after the student has commenced, registered, or entered an active stage of study or related programme participation.
2. Approval Basis
Leave of absence is subject to applicable university regulations, programme rules, partner requirements, progression rules, and administrative approval where relevant.
3. Grounds
Requests may be considered in cases of illness, compassionate grounds, major personal disruption, regulatory difficulty, or other documented circumstances that materially affect academic continuity.
4. Academic and Fee Impact
An approved leave of absence may affect progression timing, module sequencing, re-registration requirements, fee obligations, and eligibility windows. These outcomes depend on the programme rules and the final written approval.
5. Return to Study
Return arrangements may be subject to curriculum changes, academic availability, registration windows, and updated institutional requirements at the time of re-entry.
6. Written Confirmation
No leave of absence is valid unless formally approved and confirmed in writing.
