I understand and agree to the below conditions

It is my responsibility to investigate the consequence that taking a Leave of Absence might have with regard to census dates and any external bodies (e.g. effect on Centrelink benefits or student visas).

If approved, I will be withdrawn from all subjects for the period of Leave of Absence granted.

I will retain access to StudentsOnline, eStudent and my JCU computer and email account during the period of Leave of Absence, and I will continue to monitor my JCU emails and maintain my correct address details through eStudent during this time.

It is my responsibility to check that I am able to complete the degree within the maximum time allowed (taking into account part time studies and/or failed subjects), even if I haven’t already consumed the maximum allocated time of leave.

If I am in receipt of a Commonwealth Scholarship, my scholarship payments will be suspended while I am on approved Leave of Absence. However, a maximum period of deferral for scholarship payments is 1 year. After that time, my scholarship will be terminated. (Please contact the Scholarships Officer at scholarships@jcu.edu.au to arrange deferral of scholarship payments.)

If I am in receipt of a Start-up Scholarship and/or a Relocation Scholarship, I acknowledge my scholarship payments will be suspended while I am on approved Leave of Absence. (For further information, please contact Centrelink at www.centrelink.gov.au or phone 13 24 90.)
