Withdrawing From Your Studies

Withdrawals can be temporary (when you plan to re-join your course) or permanent (when you have no plans to return).

Temporary Withdrawal or Permanent Withdrawal?

A temporary withdrawal is a request to interrupt or suspend your course for a year. It doesn’t have to be that long if your course team agrees that you can come back sooner, but you can’t temporarily withdraw for more than a year.

A permanent withdrawal is leaving your course with no plans to return.

Please find the key documents for Withdrawal below:

If you withdraw, you can take any credits that you've earned on your degree to another University if you decide to go back into education in the future.

Before you withdraw, speak to your Faculty Academic team and Faculty Registry Team, and the Student Finance Team. If you receive a maintenance loan from Student Finance England (SFE) and withdraw part way through the semester, SFE may ask you to pay some money back. You can find more information about Student Finance England overpayments on their website.

If you withdraw and decide to start a new degree later, previous funding may affect your student finance entitlement. Contact Your Student Union Advice Service using our online enquiry form if you have any questions.

What Support Is Available?

Withdrawing from your course can be a stressful time. While you are Coventry University Group student, you can find Health and Wellbeing Support available at the University. Find links to your campuses support services below:

If you do not have access to the above your GP should be able to advise.
