Student Loan, the debts that you may have accrued with LJMU, and your opportunities for transferring to another degree programme, perhaps at a later date.
Before you withdraw from your course, you are strongly advised to talk to your Academic Tutor and to LJMU’s Student Advice and Wellbeing Team, contactable via the Student Zones. They will give you good advice about your future options and the loose ends that you have to tie up before you leave. You may find that your problems can be resolved without you having to leave the University.
Once you have decided to leave, you must inform the University of your decision in writing. Your letter of withdrawal, along with your University student card should be sent to the Student Zone within the LRC. The date of your official withdrawal will be recorded and any outstanding fees will be calculated accordingly. In addition to this, where appropriate, the Student Loans Company will be informed of your decision to leave University.
For undergraduate students whose fees are not paid entirely by their local authority (LA) or the Student Loans Company (SLC):
• Students will be credited on the portion of a yearly attendance not completed. This will be based upon a standard 30-week term for undergraduate programmes and 45 weeks for postgraduate programmes.
• Any refund or credit due to the student or sponsor will be based on their respective fee liability. Any portion of the tuition fee for which the SLC or LA is liable will only be paid by them if the student is in attendance on 1st December of the current academic year. If a student withdraws prior to this date no tuition fees will be received from the SLC or LA and the student will be immediately liable to pay any outstanding balance. If a student withdraws after this date the SLC or LA will pay the appropriate fee as determined by the actual date of withdrawal. Therefore, if you delay in notifying LJMU of your withdrawal and payment of your tuition fees is subsequently made by the SLC/LA, you may have difficulty in gaining support at a future date.
• Refunds will normally only be actioned if requested in writing and accompanied by the returned student card.
Programmes less than 15 weeks in length: A student who withdraws within the first week owes no fees and is given a full refund. No refund is payable after one week and all fees are due.
Programmes greater than 15 weeks in length: Students will be charged for the period of study undertaken (for which they were enrolled).
Research students: The same principle will apply as for students studying on programmes greater than the 15 weeks in duration as outlined above with 45 weeks being used as the standard duration for the academic calendar year.
For students on the Maritime CPD - Distance Learning programme:
• A student who withdraws within one month of enrolment is entitled to a full refund. • A student who withdraws after one month but before submission and approval of their project synopsis is entitled to 75% refund.
• A student who withdraws after synopsis approval is not entitled to a refund.
