Before you come to a decision about withdrawing your registration permanently, it is strongly recommended that:

• You read and ensure you understand the implications of withdrawing from your study.

• You meet with your Personal Advisor or Academic Co-ordinator to discuss the implications and options open to you.

• You seek guidance from Student Advisory & Wellbeing by emailing wellbeing@royalholloway.ac.uk or going to their webpages at intranet.royalholloway.ac.uk/students/help-support/help-and-support.aspx.

• You can also seek guidance from the Students’ Union Advice Centre by emailing advice@su.royalholloway.ac.uk or going to their webpages at su.rhul.ac.uk/advice/.

A withdrawal from study will permanently end your registration with the College. If your record is closed and you wish to return to the College at a later time you must email studentservices@royalholloway.ac.uk for further information as it is likely you will have to re-apply to the Admissions team.

Students who withdraw from their studies are liable to pay fees for the period that they have been registered prior to the withdrawal. Postgraduate students who withdraw will be liable for the tuition fees displayed in the below drop-down box. If you are in receipt of a loan from Student Finance they will be informed of your withdrawal and you may be asked to repay some of the loan. The payments will stop once we have informed Student Finance of your withdrawal.

If you are withdrawing whilst on a period of interruption the date of withdrawal is recorded as the start date of the interruption and the fee liability is calculated according to the Fee Liability points for withdrawals for the academic year you are withdrawing in.

If you are in receipt of a bursary or scholarship, please be aware that you will not receive any further payments once you have withdrawn and you may be asked to repay any instalments that you have already received. If you are in receipt of a Scholarship of RCUK funding, you will be asked to repay any advanced payments. Should you have any queries, please contact student-administration@royalholloway.ac.uk.

If you are currently living in halls of residence, you will need to complete the online notice to leave form - https://intranet.royalholloway.ac.uk/students/where-i-live/notice-to-leave-accommodation.aspx - and vacate your room, as per the Licence Terms & Conditions within 28 days, ensuring that you check out at your Halls Reception. If you do not check out at your Halls Reception you will remain financially liable for the room and in all cases settlement of any outstanding financial liabilities must made in full. More information can be found on the online notice to leave form. Should you have any queries, please contact studentservices@royalholloway.ac.uk.

Depending on the number of credits that you have successfully completed, you may be considered for an Exit Award (e.g. Certificate of Higher Education). If you are eligible for an award, you will be sent notification to your forwarding address as registered on Campus Connect so please ensure that these details are up to date.

If you are studying at Royal Holloway under a student visa, your withdrawal will be reported to UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) and you will be required to leave the UK within 60 days of the withdrawal (unless you apply for new permission to remain). The UKVI will be provided with the most recent contact details that we have recorded for you on Campus Connect. For further advice, please contact the International Student Support Office at internationaladvice@royalholloway.ac.uk.
