Fee Implications of Going and Returning from Off-Books - Postgraduate Students

As a student, you are expected to pursue your postgraduate course continuously unless permitted by the Dean of Graduate Studies to interrupt it by going ‘off-books’. The date of the commencement of the ‘off-book’ period is determined by the Dean of Graduate Studies and PG Cases, and the fee liability will be calculated accordingly.

Students who go off-books from the start of the academic year are not liable for fees for that academic year, and they will be billed at the rate of fees applicable to the academic year of their return. Permission to go ‘off-books’ is given for a definite duration and the onus is on the student to ensure that they resume their studies at the designated time as otherwise they will be considered ‘withdrawn’ from the programme.

Students returning from mid-year ‘off-books’ period are liable to pay any fees owed for academic year during which the student went ‘off-books’ to register for the current academic year. No further fees are generated for these students in the current academic year.

For more information you can visit the student cases webpage.
