Discontinuing your Study
Current Students who have been enrolled at Macquarie University but are thinking of interrupting their studies for a session, a year or longer will need to electronically withdraw from all units as soon as possible via Change of Unit Enrolment.
Other than withdrawing from all your unit(s) prior to the relevant Census dates, you are not required to notify Macquarie University in any other way. However, please carefully note the procedures to resume your studies.
If you have NO recorded results in your course at Macquarie University having withdrawn from all your units before the relevant Census date, you will be regarded as not having been 'effectively enrolled' and will need to reapply as a fresh applicant for admission (You may choose to defer your position if you are eligible. Recorded results include 'W' Withdrawn Grades)
Application to Resume Studies
The appropriate method for applying to resume your studies will depend on your particular circumstances and when you anticipate to resume your studies. The following categories should help you determine the appropriate procedure to resume your studies.
Category A - Students With Enrolled and Graded Units including a 'W' (Withdraw without academic penalty) in 2011
| Eligible to enrol via eStudent Enrolment@Macquarie, in Session 1 2012 | Eligible to enrol via eStudent, Enrolment@Macquarie, in Session 2 2012 | |
| Enrolled in either Session 1 or 2 2010 and not enrolled in either Session 2011 | No* | No* |
| Enrolled in Session 1 2011 and not enrolled in Session 2 2011 | Yes | Yes |
| Enrolled in Session 2 2011 | Yes | Yes |
* You must lodge an application to resume studies.
If you are eligible to re-enrol in Session 1 2012 but decide to delay your return until:
- Session 2 2012 – you will need to apply on-line to Macquarie University in April 2012. For information on how to apply Click here.
- Session 1 2013 - you will need to apply on-line in August 2012.
Note: PMQ students in this category applying for readmission must not have attempted other tertiary study during the period in which they were not studying at Macquarie University. If tertiary study has been attempted during the interim, you should lodge an application through UAC (Universities Admissions Centre) – you will need to go to the UAC website www.uac.edu.au to apply by web.
Category B – Formal Withdrawal From All Units In First Year of Study
If 2011 is your first year of study at Macquarie University and you formally withdraw from ALL your units by the relevant Census date(s)
- Session 1 Units - 31 March
- Full Year Units – 30 April
- Session 2 Units – 31 August (For Second Session enrolment only)
then you will be classified as having been Early Withdrawn from your program (i.e. not effectively enrolled at Macquarie University). Therefore, to return, you would need to submit a new application for the course you previously received an offer for. (UAC applications for Session 2 2012 applications will open in April 2012)
Category C – International Full-Fee Paying Students
If you are a full-fee paying International Student, you must contact the International Office at Macquarie University for advice on returning to your course. Phone (02) 9850 6320 or www.international.mq.edu.au or email iso@mq.edu.au.
