International Students
If you are a non-EEA national residing in the UK with a Tier 4 or Student visa, withdrawing from your course has serious implications.
Under the terms of a Tier 4 or Student visa you must be enrolled on and attending a course of study. Therefore, if you withdraw from your course you must, unless you have a place to start another course elsewhere, leave the UK and return to your home country.
The UK Border Agency (UKBA) will expect you to leave the UK within 28 days of the date you withdraw from your course.
Whatever your circumstances, if you are thinking of withdrawing from your course you are strongly advised to contact the International Student Adviser to discuss your situation.
