When taking Leave of Absence it is important to understand that your registration status will be recorded as Leave of Absence on the University's student records system, and whilst you will still technically have a connection with the University, you will not have an active student registration for this period of absence.
This means that you are not permitted to make use of some the University's facilities, as listed below:
• Limited library access (as of those of the general public – limited visits and no borrowing rights);
• No access to University provision, such as teaching, tutorials, academic supervision, University accommodation and Counselling Services during the period of Leave of Absence;
• There is no automatic entitlement to the VLE and e-learning.
• University email addresses remain active so long as they are regularly accessed by the student.
The only exception to the above is in the case of a Registered Student undertaking their first or second term as a Guild Sabbatical officer where their status will remain as “Normally Registered” (NR). The central University record will reflect that the student holds a Guild Sabbatical officer position.
