Withdrawing from Your Course
If you are thinking about withdrawing from your course there are some things you will need to consider, and we suggest you book an appointment with a Student Retention Officer
by completing this form to tell us you are thinking of leaving so you can receive appropriate support and guidance. You may be liable for some or all of your tuition fees, depending on when you withdraw. This amount will also depend on how your tuition fees are paid.
