WITHDRAWAL/INTERRUPTING STUDIES If, for any reason, you are uncertain about whether to continue your programme, please seek advice from a member of staff, for example your Programme Leader, Faculty Office or Student Support and Success. If you subsequently decide to withdraw, interrupt study or transfer to another programme, please contact Registry immediately to obtain and complete the necessary form. Until the relevant form is completed, and approved, you will continue to be registered as a student of the University on your current programme. If you are living in University accommodation then you must contact the Housing team to confirm your leaving arrangements. As part of your contractual agreement with the University, you must complete the relevant withdrawal/interruption form, otherwise you will be deemed to be still in attendance and you will continue to be liable for tuition fees. Please note, this also applies to your liability to the Student Loans Company.

Following your return will normally be capped, unless you have relevant evidence of valid extenuating circumstances. Withdrawal/interruption of studies may affect your entitlement to University Financial Support Please refer to our website www.winchester.ac.uk/studentsandmoney or email studentsandmoney@winchester.ac.uk for more information. AWARD CEREMONIES University of Winchester award ceremonies are normally held during the Autumn each year. Students whose award has been confirmed before the end of the third week in August of that year will be eligible to attend the award ceremonies in Autumn of the same year. Students who have work to complete or whose award is not confirmed by this date (eg Master’s students whose results are normally confirmed in November) will be eligible to attend the ceremony in the Autumn of the following year. Please note that receiving an award does not depend on attending a ceremony.
