If you have a deferral, or are planning to defer for some part of a calendar year, you will still need to start re-enrolment before 1 December.
This also applies if you will only need a second semester enrolment. An approved deferral from 1 January to 31 December on your record means you do not need to re-enrol for study in the re-enrolment year.
Requests for deferral are made through eVision:
Shortening deferral
If you need to shorten your deferral, email phd@otago.ac.nz (copy in your primary supervisor) with your name, student ID and the reason for the change in deferral dates. Note that the deferral can only be shortened to a minimum of one month. It also may mean you will need to enrol in a previous semester and you will incur fees for this.
