12. Withdrawal 1 A candidate may withdraw from a course or from any part thereof provided that written notice of
withdrawal is given to the Academic Registrar no later than six weeks before the end of the then current term or semester, or by such later date as the Academic Registrar may in particular cases permit.
12.2 A candidate who wishes to intermit studies must make written application to the Academic Registrar at least one calendar month before the intended period of intermission, and must obtain permission in writing before the commencement of the intermission; provided that in extraordinary circumstances beyond the candidate's control the Academic Registrar may waive the period of notice and the requirement that permission be obtained in advance.
12.3 Candidates who have enrolled for a subject or program, but have not completed the relevant examination by the final due date for that examination and who have neither obtained an extension under 5.2 nor notified their withdrawal as provided in 12.1 or been permitted to intermit as in 12.2 may be awarded an N result in that subject or program and may be dealt with under the rules for unsatisfactory progress.
12.4 A candidate who does not re-enrol to resume studies directly after a permitted intermission may be deemed to have withdrawn without notice and may be excluded from the course.
12.5 A candidate who for sufficient reason (such as having to move interstate) is unable to complete a course by undertaking studies conducted by or under the authority of this College may seek approval under Rule 11 to complete by undertaking studies elsewhere.
Normally, any such approval will be limited to one- third of the requirements of the course; and candidates who have a greater portion of the course to complete will be expected to enrol with another institution and there seek credit for the studies they have completed at Hawthorn. This clause shall not constrain the
approval of programs for the complementary Component of the Diploma of Technical Teaching.

THE CENTRE FOR EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION
The development of a Centre for Educational Administration at SCV Hawthorn is a direct response to the increasing demand for recurrent education in the field of educational management and administration.
Simultaneous with the growing recognition of teacher education as a career-long process, a clearly identifiable set of needs has emerged among those charged with leadership responsibilities in the education system. The Centre is designed to provide a formal but adaptive structure through which some of these needs can be met.
The basic objective of all the Centre's activities is to increase the professional effectiveness of participants through such activities as:
1. A post-initial course in educational administration, the Graduate Diploma in Educational Administration (A.C.A.A.E. Category PG1). (See pages 119-122 below for course details.)
2. Short programmes in educational management and administration.
3. Consultancy e.g. organization development, school reviews, etc.
4. Publications.
5. Small-scale action research projects.
Many of these activities are available in off-campus locations e.g. field-centred training programmes.
