if the student fails to meet the eligibility requirements
if the student fails to make satisfactory progress in the program
when the student ceases to be enrolled as a full-time student, or discontinues their study
if the University determines that the student is guilty of serious misconduct, including, but not limited to, having provided false or misleading information
if the student does not resume study at the end of a period of approved leave
