Changes that affect your registration status


 

We understand that plans can change during your study; you may start a family, fall ill or have an unexpected change of circumstances.  If that is the case and it is affecting your study, we strongly recommend that you discuss this with your supervisor / supervisory team as soon as possible - so that the College can provide you with appropriate support and advice.

If you are considering changing your registration status, details of the different options can be found below.  It is important that the relevant paperwork is submitted at the time you wish to make the change as retrospective changes may not be permissible.
