Our Student Support team can help advise you on an individual basis so you receive what you are entitled to. There might be funding available to you which you are not accessing. In addition to a tuition fee loan and maintenance loan, you may also be eligible for one of the following sources of financial help:
If you withdraw you may be required to repay scholarships, grants, or loans. We strongly encourage you to check the financial implications of withdrawing. If you withdraw at some point during the academic year, you will be liable for tuition fees for all or part of that year. The percentage of the tuition fee that you are charged depends on when you leave the course: within the first 3 weeks 0%, after week 3 but before week 1 of semester 2 50%, after the start of semester 2 100%.
Please refer to your Terms and Conditions – UCP Offer and Enrolment document provided to you prior to your enrolment and www.ucp.ac.uk/financial for more financial information on withdrawing. Further information about student finance is available from www.gov.uk/student-finance or 0300 100 0607.
If you have any long-term medical conditions, mental health difficulties, physical disability or learning difficulty which impact on your studies, we can offer support and guidance to you throughout your academic time with us. We will need you to disclose and provide evidence of your disability, learning difficulty or long-term medical condition in order for us to be able to provide you with support.
If you are worried about your academic studies, contact your tutor. If you’re finding it difficult, tell them what you’re finding difficult and ask what support is available. If you do not understand a subject, assignment or feedback you have received, do not hesitate to ask for help. Examples of support available to you are:
There might be other options open to you, such as changing your mode of study, for example from full-time to part-time or intermitting for a trimester/academic year. You could also discuss transferring to a different degree. Some options are only available on some courses and can depend on the timing of modules and on individual circumstances.
Please see the Academic Regulations and refer to section 2.34 for withdrawal information.
For independent advice about leaving, the Student Officer is available to any student for information, support and advice relating to any aspect of their time at UCP. If you need to talk to someone, contact studentofficer@ucp.ac.uk for an appointment.
After taking all this into consideration if you feel you still need to continue with withdrawing from your course, you must book an appointment with a Student Advisor to complete the Withdrawal Form giving your details and the reason(s) why you wish to leave. You will also need to return any material on loan from UCP, including library books, parking permit and ID badge. You may be entitled to a partial refund or in rare cases, a full tuition fee refund. Refer to the Tuition Fee Refund Appeal Form.
If you are employer sponsored / sponsored by another organisation you must have agreement from your employer before you request to withdraw.. They will need to agree your withdrawal and understand any fees implications.. We are happy to provide this information but it is the student’s responsibility to seek agreement from their employer or sponsor.
