2. School Procedures

2.14. Withdrawal

If you are considering withdrawing from your programme, you should first meet with your Advisor or the Senior Tutor to discuss your circumstances. They may be able to offer advice and support that would enable you to continue with your degree, or it may be appropriate to interrupt your studies instead (see section 2.14).

The Advice and Counselling service have some useful written guides which explore the implications of withdrawal on their website.

If you do need to go ahead and withdraw from Queen Mary, you need to complete a Withdrawal form.

Please note that the Registry deadlines for both forms to be signed off by students are 7 January 2026 and 6 May 2026 (students who sign forms after these dates will remain registered for examinations in either the January or May examination periods and failure to attend will result in marks of 0 being entered and being used towards progression and award outcomes).
