Transferring, withdrawing or suspending

Students may for various reasons need to suspend their studies or withdrawn from their course altogether.  If you feel this is due to difficulties you are having with your studies or University life in general then there are University resources that may be able to assist you with such problems.

If you do need to suspend you studies the steps that you need to take are:

1. Speak to your school, ideally your tutor, about the possibility of suspending or withdrawing from your studies.
2. Fill in the relevant form which can be found within the quality manual
3. Get your school to sign the relevant form, in the case of international students the international office will also need to sign this

Further information about the consequences of suspending or withdrawing studies in relation to funding and on periods of suspension can be found within the quality manual. 

 

Transferring course 

Students may request to change from the course on which they are currently registered to another course offered by the University. They may either:

• change to the same stage of the new course as they were at on the old course e.g. completing the Qualifying Year of the old course and then beginning Part I of the new course, or
• they may go back one stage e.g. leaving the old course towards the end of the Qualifying Year and beginning the new course from the very start of the Qualifying Year.

 

For further information and the necessary forms please visit the relevant section of the quality manual.
