Withdrawing from the University
Information for students who intend to withdraw from the University, including 'Withdrawal from University' forms.
If you are considering withdrawing from your study, or transferring to another University, it is important that you discuss this with your tutor or supervisor, and make an appointment with a member of staff in the Academic Registry so that possible alternatives are considered before a final decision is made.
If your proposal to withdraw is the result of financial difficulties, we would strongly urge you to go to see the Money Advice and Support Officer in Student Services. We also recommend getting in touch with the Finance Department to discuss making an arrangement to pay your debt, if you have not already done so.
Formal notification of withdrawal, or transfer, from the University has to be on a "Withdrawal from University" form (please see below), and signed by your tutor/supervisor or Head of School to confirm that they are aware of your decision. The University must be notified of the reasons why you have decided to withdraw, and have confirmation of your last date of attendance. If you are withdrawing for health reasons, you are asked to attach a medical certificate to your letter or form. Please see below for a link to the withdrawal form on the Intranet or alternatively it can be obtained from your School or the Academic Registry.
Upon receipt of your form, the Academic Registry will arrange for your records to be updated and inform your sponsor (if applicable) and relevant Schools such as the Library and the Finance Department.
