Withdrawing from your studies

If you decide to withdraw from your course, or a decision is made by the University to withdraw you, we must notify the UKVI. Sending a notification to UKVI that you have withdrawn from your studies is part of the University's responsibility as your Student visa sponsor. We will email you 24 hours before the notification is made. 

Following this, the UKVI will cancel your visa, which usually means that your visa will expire 60 days after they process our notification. This can happen at any time after UKVI are notified of withdrawal, so you should leave the UK within 60 days of receiving the email from us.

Please be aware that once the UKVI take cancellation action you cannot travel back into the UK if you are outside the UK, even if this is still within the 60-day period. Leaving the UK once the 60-day period has started may also invalidate the remainder of your visa.
