Interruption of Studies and Graduation
Interruption to Computer Science studies
For all interruptions involving one or more terms all students must complete
a leave of absence form which is available from the Program Executive, Sinagpore.
Where you do not intend to enrol in any courses in a calendar year,
approval for any proposed interruption needs to be sought in advance.
Where the interruption involves more than four terms, a formal letter should be
submitted to the Program Executive, Singapore
stating the dates for which interruption of studies is requested.
Deferment may not be granted for participants intending to undertake tertiary
studies elsewhere.
Leave from absence from your studies can be sought in the event of health,
financial and personal difficulties.
It is possible to be granted up to 12 months leave if a participant has good
reason to be absent from studies, and if academic performance is of a standard
sufficient to warrant a place in the program being reserved.
Leave is granted on the condition that participants undertake to inform the
Program Executive of their intentions to resume their program, one month before the
end of the period of leave.
Failure to do this is interpreted as termination of their program.
Discontinuance of Graduate Diploma studies
Provision exists for Graduate Diploma in Computer Science students who have completed:
Four 3-unit courses (based on the program rules for courses required to complete)
to be awarded a Graduate Certificate in Computer Science if they exit the
Graduate Diploma program;
Students must seek approval in writing for the conferring of such awards,
from the Program Executive, Singapore.
Students may seek approval to re-enter the Graduate Diploma program but they must
surrender the Graduate Certificate in Computer Science before the Graduate Diploma
award can be conferred.

There are three graduation ceremonies each year.
The April ceremonies are held in Singapore and
there are two Adelaide ceremonies one will be in August and the other in mid-December.
In order to graduate you must have completed your studies,
have had all your results recorded on your official academic transcript,

The only late applications that will be accepted are those where the University is at fault
or those due to exceptional circumstances, of a serious nature, beyond the student's control.
Exceptional circumstances may include, for example, serious illness or accident
(medical certificate required), serious personal situations such as death in the immediate family,
or administrative error on the part of the University.
The entire graduation process is managed by the Graduations Office of the University of Adelaide,
NOT the NAAEC or the School of Computer Science.
Any questions concerning graduation should be directed to that Office.
