Academic progress: taught students
The progress of a student on their course may be impeded for a variety of reasons. Advice on how to support potential interruptions to academic progress is given below.
Leave of absence
A leave of absence allows a student to take an authorised break in their studies for a maximum of one calendar year in the first instance.
Extension of enrolment
A programme extension can be recommended where a student cannot complete the programme within the normal timescale (usually nine or twelve terms).
Transfer of programme
A student may request to transfer from one programme to another at any time during their studies but this happens most commonly during or at the end of the first year.
Withdrawing from programme, and Termination/assumed withdrawals
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.
