Withdrawing from UWE Bristol
You can permanently withdraw from your studies at any point in an academic year.
However, you may still be liable to pay some or all of your fees if you permanently withdraw. Our fees and funding sections provide further information. You can also find details of the University’s Money Advice Service.
If you have completed enough credits to be eligible for an interim award (for example, CertHE or DipHE), you can request it when you notify us of your withdrawal. Your eligibility for an award is shown in Your marks in MYUWE.
