If you require time away from your research study, you can request a deferral.
If you have a deferral or are planning to defer for some part of a calendar year, you will still need to start re–enrolment before 1 December.
This also applies if you will only need a semester 2 enrolment. An approved deferral from 1 January to 31 December on your record means you do not need to re–enrol for study in the re–enrolment year.
You will lose access to University of Otago resources while on deferral.
To request a deferral:
- Discuss options and seek approval from your supervisor
- Log in to eVision
- Click on the My Research window
- Click Deferral request, then follow the onscreen instructions
