Students who wish to withdraw from a programme

Withdrawal is the term we use where students decide to permanently leave the university prior to completion of the award for which they are registered, for either personal or academic reasons. In each case, staff should encourage students to consider whether it may be more appropriate to take a leave of absence where the change in circumstance may be temporary.

Generic information on withdrawals from the university can be found on the relevant change of plan webpage.

Information on the Assumed Withdrawal Process can be found on the relevant Staff Supporting Students webpage.
