If you are a HECS-HELP liable or an Australian fee paying student you may apply for an Intermssion (LOA) for a minimum of one complete teaching period, subject to Course Convener approval. Applications must be lodged with the Student Centre before the commencement of the teaching period for which the Intermission (LOA) is being sought.
