Leaving/changing a programme or taking time out
You may be experiencing difficulties and think you may have to withdraw. Leaving or changing your programme could affect your funding now and in the future. It could mean that you are asked to pay back any funding that you have received.
Get advice
If you are thinking about withdrawing from your programme, speak to your programme leader or academic adviser first. If you would like to discuss your situation with someone else in confidence, the Students’ Association Advice Centre offers a non-judgemental, independent service.
You can also get specialist help with specific issues affecting you from one or more of our student support teams:
- Struggling with academic writing, study skills or other academic issues? Contact your school’s Learning Development Centre.
- Money worries? Speak to our Student Funding team.
- Contact our Disability service for advice on dealing with the impact of a long term physical or mental health condition on your studies or attendance.
- If you would like to access counselling, contact the Student Wellbeing for an appointment.
Deciding to leave or change your programme
If you withdraw from your programme during the academic session you will be charged a fee based on your withdrawal date.
If you do decide to withdraw and are paying your own fees please contact the Accounts Receivable team in the Finance Office.
