Responsibilities of Supervisors
- Before agreeing to supervise a student, supervisors should satisfy themselves that they have the necessary knowledge and expertise to supervise, that the project is appropriate for the degree concerned and can reasonably be undertaken with the resources available and in the required timescale, and they are confident that the student has the capacity to undertake the project successfully.

- Annual leave - short period of leave without formally interrupting study.
- Temporary Withdrawal - pause registration for between 28 days to 2 years.
- Authorised Absence (visa holders) - short term respite from study where Temporary Withdrawal may not be desirable.
- Resume Study - prepare to re-join active study after a period of temporary withdrawal.
- Change Mode of Attendance - change between full-time and part-time (60%).
- Extend Registration - request additional time to submit for examination for exceptional reasons.
- Permanent Withdrawal - withdraw with/without leave to submit at a later date.
