There is a process to follow if you wish to take a year's leave of absence from your degree course (that is January to December).

You will need to apply for approved leave.

Note: You are not required to formally apply for approved leave if you will be enrolling in at least one unit in one calendar year (for example 2009) and at least one unit in the next calendar year (2010).

If you withdraw from all your units without taking approved leave, you will be deemed to have discontinued your studies and may need to reapply for entry to the course.

Approved leave will not normally be granted in the first year of study. If you enrol in the course but withdraw without completing any units, you may need to reapply for entry, or at least to request formally a new offer for a later date.

If you are returning to study after a period of leave, you must contact PSB Academy early in November for information concerning the re-enrolment process for the next academic year.
