In case of particular and unforeseen difficulty, such as serious illness – your own or that of a close family member – or an unexpected change in personal circumstances, you may request to intermit, i.e. to take a break from your studies and return at a later date to complete them.
If circumstances arise which cause you to consider intermitting from your course, you should first discuss with your Course Director who will be able to offer you guidance and support regarding your study schedule. You may also wish to discuss this with the Student Support team at
studentsupport@pace.cam.ac.uk. For full details of PACE's intermission policy please see the current
Student Handbook.
To request an intermission, you should complete this form and provide time-relevant documentary evidence. If you are studying for more than one course, please complete a form for each course you intend to intermit.
Applications for intermission will be processed by the Quality Assurance Team and reviewed by the Course Director and the Director of Academic Programmes. The outcome of decision will be communicated to you by your Course Administration Team.
