Reduced study load applications
New students are required by policy to enrol in a full-time study load, 0.5 EFTSL, in their first trimester. This means that undergraduate students are expected to enrol in four (4) units and postgraduate students in three (3) units in their first study period.
Students may apply to study a reduced study load if they have compassionate or compelling circumstances or have completed at least one trimester of study full-time and wish to spread their remaining study load across the other trimesters.
Students who receive approval to reduce their study load may not be eligible to take a trimester break. Reduced Study load applications must be submitted prior to the Census date for the study period, the application form is available on the Forms page.
