We understand that things can change and you may need to withdraw from study.

We are here to help you with the withdrawal process if that’s what you need to do at this time.

We are also here to talk about options to study full or part time, change course, programmes or semesters.

Withdraw an application

If you have submitted an application, but not accepted an offer

If you have not accepted an offer of study, you can withdraw your application by logging in to your Enrolment Dashboard. When you are logged in to your Enrolment Dashboard, click on ‘Withdraw application’ (under your list of tasks). You can also contact us, and we can withdraw the application for you.

If you have accepted an offer to study, but not started studying yet

Once you have accepted an offer of study, contact us if you want to withdraw, as we will need to do this for you.

Withdraw from your programme or course

Current students wanting to withdraw completely from a programme or a course must notify us in writing or submit a Change of Enrolment form (instructions below).

International students

If you are an International student, contact an International Advisor before submitting your request. You must get your withdrawal approved by the International Support Team before submitting your request.
