Existing University Regulation Transfer, Pause-in-Study, Withdrawal and Termination regulations | ||
| 3.0 | In determining the duration of any pause in study and the most appropriate time for the student to return to study, due account will be taken of the structure of the programme as well as the student's needs. Where a pause in study is agreed for medical reasons, Faculties may require a student to provide medical certification of fitness to return to study or to attend a Fitness to Practise Panel before allowing re-enrolment to occur. Students may apply to extend a period of pause of study for further periods of up to twelve months at a time; however, pauses in study covering periods greater than twenty four (24) months continuously will normally be granted only under the most exceptional circumstances. Students unable or unwilling to return to study after a pause in study of twenty four (24) months may be recommended for termination of study. | The period of pause in study allowable within a student’s registration period will be limited to a maximum of 24 months, in total, across all Parts of the programme. |

Disclaimer
As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure quality enhancement and to manage our resources. As a result, these regulations may be revised during a student’s period of registration, however, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Please read our Disclaimer to see why, when and how changes may be made to a student’s programme.
