Limited full-time

You can apply for limited full-time status from StudyLink when you are studying less than full-time due to certain circumstances. These can include:

• You are enrolled in all required courses to complete our degree in the final semester/year of study, but these enrolments do count as full-time (for example you have three 15-point courses to do in Semester One to finish your degree)
• You have a serious medical condition or illness that means you cannot study full-time
• For sufficient reasons outside of your control, for example a disability or notable carer responsibilities
• You would be likely to fail, for academic reasons, if you studied full-time (for example you have a learning difficulty)
  

As part of the StudyLink Limited Full-Time Status process, your application form must be reviewed and countersigned by Student Hubs.

StudyLink. reviews your application and makes the final decision. You do need the support of the University to apply, but the University does not have any input into the decision-making process.

For detailed information, please see StudyLink's Limited full-time page.

If you receive a scholarship, please make sure to check whether part-time study is permitted under your scholarship regulations. Student Hubs can only assess eligibility against StudyLink criteria.

1. Check if you meet the criteria of limited full-time study by visiting StudyLink's website.
