All applicants are advised that any request for further information to support their application will be sent to their student email accounts or nominated email account for future students. Students will be required to re-submit any further information requested through their original application in MyCQU.

Continuing students must still maintain a minimum GPA of 4.0 in the term directly before taking a Leave of Absence.
