• Students who are granted leave of absence are not allowed to fulfil any University requirements such as attend classes or work on or submit their dissertation/thesis.
• Students who applied LoA after the second week of the semester shall be liable for fees due for the entire semester. To retain their name in the matriculation register, a non-refundable administrative fee of $53.50 (inclusive of GST) per semester will be levied upon the approval of leave of absence.
• For the days you are unable to attend lectures due to valid reasons (e.g. illness or an overseas trip arranged by your employer), you will need to apply for a leave of absence through the Graduate Student Leave System (For Coursework Students) and Please submit the supporting documents (e.g., medical certificate issued by your doctor, employer's email regarding the travel arrangement, travel itinerary, etc.).

• Please indicate the affected course(s) in the remarks section of the LOA system.
