Q21. Can I change my student status (e.g. from full-time to part-time)?
(For Ug and TPg students)
If you are going to change your study load which leads to a change in your student status (e.g. from full-time to part-time), your visa status may be affected. You must seek prior approval from the Director of Immigration by following the procedures below:
- Seek approval from your programme offering department by submitting the relevant AR form, if appropriate (please refer to the relevant section of the Student Handbook).
- Once the department approves your application, you have to seek approval from the Director of Immigration via a new student visa application.
(For Research Postgraduate students admitted from the 2018/19 cohort onwards)
Students should refer to the Research Postgraduate Student Handbook from the Graduate School on the regulations if any.
