Authorised interruptions of study for students who are unable to study for a while. Authorised interruption of study, usually referred to as “interruption”, is available for students who are unable to study for a while. This may be because of health or family problems for example, and students should notify their supervisor as soon as the need for an interruption arises. Following discussion with their supervisor, students are responsible for completing and submitting a form to request the interruption. Interruptions will be authorised when there is good reason and examples of what is considered good reason are given in the University policy on authorised interruptions of study. Information on how to request an interruption, important considerations and where to find further advice are available in the Authorised Interruption of Study Policy.
