Taught change of circumstances forms
Interruptions & Withdrawals for Taught students
Students should complete the SID online form with support and advice from their faculty administrator (either in person or over the phone). Or, if this is not possible, the student can access the relevant form by logging into SID using their usual username and password.
Change of programme for Taught students
Students should complete the SID Online form following discussions with their Info Point/Personal tutor and the Guild. In the following circumstances they will also be advised to speak to the Admissions Team
- Undergraduates in their first year of study wishing to change programmes (within their first year), or
- Undergraduates re-starting year one on a different programme of study
On completing the SID Online form it will be assigned to the relevant faculty info point team to start the approval process.
Change of Programme for International Students on a Student Visa: In order to ensure that changes of programme for students with a Student Visa comply with UKVI rules regarding length of study, all changes of programme forms for International students must be assigned to the Immigration compliance team following faculty approval.
Advice and Information for Students
Information and guidance for students changing programme is available through the Info Points webpages. Students can discuss changes to the programme of study, or the non-academic implications withdrawing or interrupting their studies, with the Students’ Guild Advice Unit.
International students are also advised to contact the International Student Support Office for advice and guidance about the immigration and other non-academic implications of changing programme, withdrawing or interrupting studies.
Information for Staff
- Guidance on supporting students in logging change of programme, interruption and withdrawal forms in SID Online can be found on the SITS support page.
- Interruption, withdrawals and Change of programme forms can only be approved by those noted below - proxy or delegated sign off will not be accepted.
- Interruptions or withdrawals for UK based should not be backdated beyond 4 weeks unless in exceptional circumstances. If a student has not engaged the withdrawal or interruption date should reflect this. Forms can be backdated in this instance but it must be clearly noted on the form the reason for the backdating and the approver must be made aware of this. Backdating forms should be an exception rather than a rule.
- International Student withdrawal and interruptions cannot be backdated beyond 2 weeks due to UKVI regulations.
- All changes of programmes, interruptions and withdrawals for International students must be approved by Immigration compliance.
