Thinking of leaving?

If your circumstances change and you are thinking about whether to continue your studies, make contact with a member of staff to discuss your options. Talk to anyone you feel comfortable approaching- you can telephone or email if you’d rather not meet face to face.

Please take some time to read the UHI withdrawal policy as this gives you more information about withdrawing from your studies. If you’ve already decided to leave UHI you can let us know via the online withdrawal form. Please do this as soon as you can to avoid incurring any financial penalties.

What are the options?

• Support to help you continue
  UHI staff can discuss the available support that can help you continue. For example: study skills advice, assistive technologies, funding.
• Change of course or mode of study
  You may want to keep studying and transfer to another course, either at the same UHI campus or another. You may want to change from full time to part-time study.
• Temporary withdrawal / suspension of studies
  A period of time out from study may be appropriate, allowing you to return at a later date.
• Permanent withdrawal
  Where you come to a decision that study is not right for you just now and you cannot see yourself returning then you may wish to permanently withdraw. This does not prevent you from applying to study at UHI in the future.

Financial implications

If you withdraw from study part way through the academic year, be aware of the financial implications. If you’re sure about your decision, it is generally better to withdraw earlier to avoid any financial penalties
