Student Zone
We understand that you may encounter exceptional circumstances which require you to take a break from your studies; if you do, then please read the following guidance carefully to ensure that you fully understand the consequences of taking a break.
If you wish to take a break in your studies after the completion of an academic year and before formally re-enrolling for the forthcoming academic year, you simply need to advise the University of the period requested by completing the form below.
Taking a Break Form - prior to enrolment
If you are studying on a Student Visa (previously Tier 4), a break from your studies will have immigration implications. Therefore, you must seek advice from the International Student Advice Team before making the decision.
Please submit the completed form to your Student Zone team.
Submission deadlines: your form must be submitted before the first day of teaching; please do not (re)enrol.
If you are considering taking a break from your studies whilst enrolled, you should think carefully about whether this is the correct option for you, as any break in studies will count as a year of student funding, a fee may be due, and any entitlement to benefits may be stopped for this period. Additionally, during an approved break, you are not eligible to sit examinations, submit coursework or undertake any other form of assessment.
If you are an international student studying at the University on a student visa, please be aware that the University is legally required to report any break in studies to the UKVI, which will cancel your visa. You will need to apply for a new visa before you can return to the UK. International students must seek immigration advice from the International Student Advice Team before making a decision.
Your request to take a break will only be considered once you have completed the Evision task. Once logged into Evision, to complete the task, go to My Progress > Enrolment Actions Table > Apply to take a break in my studies.
You must do this by:
It may not be possible to accept requests received after the final deadline. If you are encountering difficulties after please contact your Student Zone team, who can advise on the support and options available to you.
If you have unforeseen circumstances that are acute, severe and outside of your control, and that occur immediately before or during an assessment period, you should submit a claim for Mitigating Circumstances rather than request a break in your studies; you would then continue as an enrolled student and still be eligible for financial support.
If you need a short break from your studies, ask your Course Leader for approval. However, you should not miss more than two weeks of teaching in any semester. For full details on attendance and engagement expectations, refer to the Engagement Policy.
Refund entitlements for Undergraduate and taught Postgraduate students:
If you enrolled in the Autumn Term and take a break from your studies:
If you enrolled in the Spring Term and take a break from your studies:
Please contact your Course Leader, who can advise you of the options and support available based upon your individual circumstances.
The minimum period for a break from studies shall be until the start of the next semester for courses principally following a semester-based pattern of module delivery or until the start of the next academic year for courses principally following a year-long module structure.
The maximum permitted break from studies shall normally be one year. Any exceptional request above one year must be approved by the Academic Registry, which may approve a maximum total break, during the course of a student's registration, in excess of one year.
A break from studies shall be counted as part of the stated period of registration for the award/course a student is enrolled on as will any unauthorised periods where a student is not enrolled.
If you want further advice, please do contact your Student Zone team for help and guidance.
Email or book an appointment with the Student Money and Accommodation Advice Team.
International students should contact the International Support Team.
Before you can re-enrol, your modules for the new academic year need to be added to your student record. In most cases, this will be completed for you, but Student Zone may contact you if further information is needed. Please respond promptly to avoid delays. Once everything is in place, you'll receive an email from reenrolment@londonmet.ac.uk with instructions on how to re-enrol through Evision.
Most students returning in September will receive their re-enrolment email during August. If you are returning at another point in the academic year, you'll receive your email before your return date once your module registration has been completed.
If your expected return date is approaching and you haven't received a re-enrolment email, please contact the Student Zone for an update.
If you need student finance or other funding, we recommend applying as early as possible. Even if you're still finalising your plans, starting your application early can help avoid delays when you return. If you have questions about funding, Student Money and Accommodation Advice (SMAA) can provide guidance and support.
