Waiver of Requirement to Withdraw

Waiver of Requirements to Withdraw permits a student to continue in a programme despite having performed unsatisfactorily and having received a letter requiring him/her to withdraw from his/her programme of study.
 

Applications for waiver of the requirement to withdraw will be considered on its own merit and will only succeed if the Faculty is satisfied that the circumstances attending the reasons for the withdrawal have altered substantially.

The deadline for waiver applications is on or before the end of the first week of teaching in September (Semester 1), January (Semester 2) and July (Summer).
