The Suspension of Studies Process

We request that you make us aware of your desire to defer your place on the course if you wish to suspend, as students risk being discontinued at the Award Board and considered AWOL if they do not officially suspend.

If a student wants to suspend their place on the course to a future cohort, otherwise known as a suspension of studies, they will have to inform the Student Services Team as soon as possible. There is an official step-by-step process that is required to be completed in full for a suspension to be processed, which is dependent on the university that your programme is accredited by.

To begin the process, regardless of university, inform Student Services of your suspension request or concern via phone or email; it is important to detail your reasoning behind your wish to suspend, so they can help you as much as possible.

Please Note - There are several things to keep in mind once a suspension has been confirmed:

• Any payments you previously paid will be transferred to the new cohort of your course.
• Your Moodle Account becomes suspended until you return to study with us.
• Please ensure that communication is consistent to have a successful suspension.
• Students that suspended must return one full academic year later - for example, if you suspend your studies from the March 2025 cohort, you will return in the March 2026 cohort.
• Students can continue from any modules that have not been participated in - for example, if you completed and passed Modules 1 and 2, you will return to study Module 3 at the same time as the respective cohort.
