Procedure Update: Outside Studies Program

Academic staff should note that there have been a number of changes to the Outside Studies Program (OSP) procedure.

There are two key changes of relevance to staff preparing an application for OSP, specifically that:

1. eligibility rules now place a stronger emphasis on Research activities;
   and
2. allowable criterion for OSP can include completion of a PhD where it results in either completion or substantial completion of the course of study.
