Enrolment procedures for graduate students are course specific and are deter-

mined by the respective Colleges/Faculties. Students are to consult with their

respective College/Faculty Graduate Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship

Coordinator on the correct procedures for enrolment.

Leave of Absence/Suspension of Studies

Leave of absence is the suspension of studies with the approval of the Univer-

sity, for one semester or one academic year. Leave of absence up to one

academic does not count against a student’s maximum completion time for

the particular course of study. Leave of absence may be granted for following

reasons:

Medical (injury/illness, pregnancy, childbirth, traumatic experiences and

natural disasters).

Academic (internship locally or overseas, student exchange with other insti-

tutions).

Other (participation in approved competition, financial problems, interna-

tional students with passport/visa issues).

In all instances supporting documentation will be required.

A student should seek approval for leave of absence prior to the start of the

academic year or semester for which he/she is seeking leave of absence. Leave

of absence is not granted retroactively.

A student on leave of absence is required to pay a studentship fee in order to

maintain his/her studentship. The amount will be determined by the Office

of Finance and Business Services.

Students are not permitted to pursue any studies at the University while on

leave of absence.

Reinstatement

Students are required to request re-instatement by writing to the Registrar.
