City, University of London Senate Regulation 19 Assessment Regulations 2018/19

27Leaving a Programme

If a student decides that they do not want to complete their Programme, they must advise the School, in writing, that they wish to withdraw. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that a request to withdraw is approved by the School. Failure to formally withdraw from the Programme will mean that later assessments will be recorded as not attempted and therefore failed (see 4.10 Failure to Pass a Programme).

Once a student has been withdrawn from a Programme they will be considered as a new student for any subsequent re-registration, except for where allowance is made for students to top-up to a higher qualification, i.e. from a:

• 
  Certificate or Diploma of Higher Education to Undergraduate degree
  
• 
  Postgraduate Certificate to Postgraduate Diploma or Masters degree
  
• 
  Postgraduate Diploma to Masters degree
  

within the maximum registration period of the qualification (see Section 4.13).

Limitations apply where a student has been withdrawn due to academic failure (See Section 4.14 Re-enrolment Following Failure).
