Interruption of Studies
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING THE FORM This form must be completed if you wish to interrupt your studies after the completion of an academic year and before you have formally re-enrolled for the following year. It should be submitted to your UG/PG Office. The minimum period of interruption is one semester and you cannot interrupt your studies for more than two consecutive academic years. You should note that the maximum period of registration for any course includes any agreed interruptions / intermissions of studies. If you are studying at the University on the basis of holding a student visa then you should note that the University is legally required to report your interruption of studies to the UK Border Agency who will then cancel your visa. You should also note that you will need to apply for a new visa before you can return to the UK. You are encouraged to seek immigration advice from Student Services. The University will consider your request to interrupt your studies and if approval is granted you will be emailed accordingly. If you are in receipt of student support your Local Education Authority will be contacted. If you are studying on a student visa we will inform the relevant authorities. Your request will be rejected if it means you will be absent for more than two consecutive academic years; if you will not be able to complete your course within the maximum period of registration; or if you have already re-enrolled. Once you have interrupted your studies you will not normally have access to University facilities and premises. You should contact your UG/PG Office in the period before you intend to come back so that you can confirm your academic programme. You will re-enrol via your Evision account which will be opened up for you about 6 weeks before the start of the semester. If you are not intending to return, or wish to interrupt your studies further, you should complete a Withdrawal Form or another Interruption of Studies form. Students whose studies have been discontinued by the University, or who have been excluded for fee debt, need not complete this form.
