ACADEMIC ISSUES

Studying at University doesn’t always work out as you might expect and some students find themselves with academic problems. Some students experience difficulties with their course or tutor, personal issues that hinder their ability to attend lessons or produce coursework or have a multitude of other reasons why they feel they are falling behind on their studies.

You may want to consider withdrawing, transferring or taking time out of your course. If this is the case it is always helpful to seek help or guidance before you commit to making a particular decision, often you may not be aware of all the implications there may be that could effect your finances and every your ability to return to University at a later date.
