Voluntary withdrawal

Permanently withdrawing from your studies means that you have decided to stop studying at the University and that you have no intention of returning to continue your programme of study in the future. Withdrawing from the University will have financial and visa implications.

Tuition Fee Liability

The Tuition Fee Liability webpage provides information about the University’s Fee Liability Policy for students who withdraw or take leave of absence. Please consult this page for information about the fee you will be charged.

If you are considering withdrawing permanently from the University, you are strongly advised to meet with your Personal Tutor for advice and guidance before making a final decision. Your home department will be required to confirm your last date of engagement and provide a signature to authorise the date included on the form.
