Withdrawing your application
You may withdraw your application anytime before the application deadline. However, once you have submitted an application and subsequently wish to withdraw your participation, it is your responsibility to notify Monash Abroad as soon as you make this decision.
If you have received an offer from the host university and you withdraw your participation for reasons other than those accepted as extenuating circumstances, you will not be able to reapply for a Semester Abroad / Global Intercampus Program in the subsequent application round. You will be required to show proof that your reason for withdrawing your application meets the definition of extenuating circumstances.
Extenuating circumstances are defined as any event that is:
- unavoidable
- unforeseen
- outside the control of the student, or
- not primarily the fault of the student (i.e. resulting from the student's discretion or choice)
Supporting documentation will vary depending on the situation, some examples may be a medical certificate, death certificate, or notice of visa rejection or delay by the host country authorities. Students who are unsure of what to provide should contact their Monash International Education Coordinator to clarify what documentation is required.
Reasons that will not be considered extenuating circumstances are:
- being unsuccessful in being nominated for your first, second or third appropriate institutional preference (for Semester Abroad Programs)
- having insufficient funds to support your semester abroad
- being unable to take leave from your place of employment
- choosing to participate in an alternative international study or travel experience that coincides with the period for which you’ve applied
