Application to interrupt an academic year

Published byDocMuse

Interrupting studies is granted on particular grounds — health, family, work abroad, maternity — and almost always requires a document. What the application asks expressly is which examinations remain outstanding and how they are to be made up, because on returning a student is reinstated into a specific year, not where they remember being.

Common questions

On what grounds is an interruption granted?

Usually health, family, maternity, or work or study abroad. Each ground calls for the corresponding document, which is why the application has a field for the attachment — one without it is rarely considered.

Which year do I return to after the interruption?

The one you interrupted, with the outstanding examinations still to be sat. That is why the application lists them — the picture has to be clear to you and to the faculty before the interruption, not on your return.

Will I study under the same curriculum?

Not necessarily. On reinstatement, studies continue under the curriculum then in force, which may mean new subjects and equivalence examinations. The application says so expressly so that it is not a surprise.

Do I lose my student rights?

During an interruption the rights tied to active enrolment usually fall away — a hall place, a grant, student discounts, and for men the deferral from military registration. Check which of them affect you before interrupting.
