Before you begin
If you're sure you wish to withdraw from or interrupt your studies, and have read the information and advice for students thinking about withdrawal or interruption of studies, you will need to complete a withdrawal/interruption form.
Once you have completed the form, your details will be sent to a member of staff, who may request a meeting with you to discuss your options before proceeding.
If you are an international student, you will also need to discuss your request for withdrawal/interruption with a member of the International Student Advice Service, as a decision to withdraw/interrupt your studies may have serious implications on your right to remain in the country.
Terms and conditions - proceed with caution
Withdrawing from or interrupting your studies is a serious decision. You should only proceed if you have read and understood the following conditions:
- I have read and understood the Charging and Refund Policy
- I have read and understood the advice and guidance available and information on sources of help
