Student leavers

Occasionally a student will decide to leave the University early. When this happens, there are a number of things to remember.

If a student informs you they are leaving the University, you will need to fill in a leaver's form and make the student aware how much they owe in terms of fees.

When a student leaves

There are different groups of student leaver: temporary, permanent and presumed (permanent). The school has different responsibilities depending on the type of student leaver.

Temporary leavers

Students may take temporary leave from the University for a variety of reasons. A summary of the processes can be found here.

Permanent leavers

Students may take permanent leave (permanently withdraw) from the University for a variety of reasons. A summary of the processes can be found here.

Presumed leavers

As of November 2019, processes changed for students presumed to have left the University. The below details how a student's failure to attend, register, or return from temporary leave is handled. 

Fees for leavers

If a student leaves part way through an academic year their fees may be reduced, adjustments are calculated based on the student's leave date in Banner. This adjustment is manual and is done after the receipt of the leavers workflow (UG, TP) or copy of the leavers form (RP).
