Transferring university

If you transfer to another university or college you will need to permanently withdraw from UWE Bristol.

Before you make your final decision you should:

• book an appointment with a Student Support Adviser to discuss your options
• seek advice from the other university or college about their requirements and to ensure that there is a place available (you may need to reapply through UCAS)
• if you're living in UWE Bristol accommodation, seek advice from Accommodation Services.

If you have followed the above steps and decide that you wish to leave UWE Bristol, you will need to contact an Information Point to request a withdrawal form.

Both UWE Bristol and your new university or college may expect payment of your tuition fees. Depending on when you leave UWE Bristol, the amount of fees we charge will vary (see the Tuition Fee Policy). It is important that you establish what the fee charge will be at your new university or college before you transfer.

Your maintenance support may be affected if the academic year of the new course you are transferring to has a different duration (eg it runs for more years or fewer years than your UWE Bristol course would have done). Student Finance will recalculate your money based on the academic year dates of your new course.

Your eligibility for future funding may be affected if your new course has a different number of years duration compared to your course at UWE Bristol.

• You should tell Student Finance that you are transferring.
• It is important to tell UWE Bristol that you are transferring, so that your funding can be left in for your new university or college.
• You will need to ask your new university or college to submit transfer details to Student Finance, as that does not happen automatically.
