  *International students on a student visa are generally not permitted to enrol part-time unless there are compelling circumstances

Please note: To receive the RTP stipend before confirmation of candidature, candidates must be enrolled full time. After their candidature is confirmed, the Dean of Graduate Studies can, in exceptional circumstances, approve requests from candidates to enrol part time and receive half the stipend. When competing your application please provide enough information/documentation for the DGS to assess your edibility to receive a half stipend. If you are unsure of what to provide please contact us at research.degrees@cdu.edu.au

Please be advised: Changing to part-time due to employment is not a valid reason to allow you to continue receiving stipend payment. Your scholarships will therefore be suspended.

Please submit justification to your request if you feel you should be allowed to receive your stipend part-time due to work commitments.

Please also note, if you change your candidature back to full-time your stipend can be reinstated, if you have not passed the end date of your stipend. However, this suspension does not get added to your current stipend end date and your original expiry date remains unchanged.
