   • are not carrying out your program of research and study with diligence, or
   • are not making satisfactory progress, or
   • have not complied with the terms and conditions of your scholarship, or
   • did not meet the eligibility criteria for award of your scholarship;
2. The Dean of the UQ Graduate School withdraws or terminates your research higher degree candidature;
3. You relinquish your scholarship or withdraw from candidature;
4. You cease to be a full-time scholar and have not obtained approval to hold the scholarship on a part-time basis;
5. You do not resume study at the conclusion of a period of leave and have not made arrangements to extend that period of leave;

Payments cease from the date of termination of the scholarship. Once terminated, a scholarship cannot be reactivated.
