We understand there are many reasons for wanting to stop your course for a while, but before you do, we advise you to talk with your school, personal tutor, or supervisor about why you want to suspend your studies. They may be able to offer help and advice that will allow you to carry on with your studies.
If you don’t want to talk to your school, personal tutor, or supervisor, Student Services will be able to offer you confidential help and advice. You can also speak in confidence to a member of the Wellbeing Advice and Guidance team.
If you do want to suspend your studies, you must let your department know as soon as possible.
Details on suspending your studies are available on the Student Administration pages.
The following links provide detailed factsheets on the implications of suspending for undergraduate students and postgraduate students. It is important to understand that suspending your studies will have an impact on your maintenance loan, tuition and accommodation fees.
