Absence Of A Principal Supervisor

Where there is only one supervisor from within the University it is necessary for a temporary supervisor from within the University to be nominated when the sole supervisor goes on extended leave.  It is the responsibility of the Facultyl Dean to make a nomination to the Board normally at least a month before the supervisor departs, and after consultation with the candidate.  It is expected that the original supervisor will continue to have regular contact with the candidate, but the temporary supervisor will be expected to be responsible for the formalities of supervision and for day-to-day assistance required by the candidate.

Where there is more than one Murdoch University supervisor, the supervisor remaining on campus when the other goes on study leave or other approved leave will normally assume full responsibility for supervision.
