Course Withdrawal

It is hoped that when a student registers at Stranmillis University College they will complete their course. If for any reason a student feels that they need to withdraw they should discuss the situation first with their Adviser of Studies and/or the Student Support Officer who may be able to offer guidance and support.

If the final decision is to withdraw, either on a temporary or permanent basis, the College requires formal notification of withdrawal on the appropriate withdrawal form. This form must be completed and signed by your Advisor of Studies. The staff in Academic Registry must also endorse this form. Withdrawal forms are available in either the Student Support Centre or Academic Registry.

FEES 

If a student withdraws from a course they will be required to pay a percentage of the fees. The amount they will be charged will depend on the date of formal withdrawal from the course, as stated on the withdrawal form.
