Program leave - domestic coursework student

If you have not had effective enrolment in a minimum of one course, you may be able to apply to defer your offer (refer to Advisory Information).
You are considered as being on program leave if you do not enrol, or drop all enrolled courses before the census date for that enrolment session. While on leave you will retain full access to ANU IT services including ANU email, ISIS, Alliance and Library services.
