Scholarship holders must contact their scholarship liaison officer regarding the terms and conditions of their scholarship contract, and possible implications of intermission. 

Intermission should be applied for in advance and is subject to approval by your Supervisor and the Associate Dean Research/Director of your Faculty/Research Centre.
