New Interruptions of Study Procedures
5 August 2020
Updates to Interruption of Study 2020-21
Changes to Interruption of Study are planned for 2020-21 including:
- A new online workflow to manage the student request and approval process
- More support for students before, during and after interruption
- Departmental approval of standard interruptions
- More help and guidance for Departments on how to support students
- Replacing the backdating of interruptions with the Extenuating Circumstances procedures, helping UCL to meet its obligations with regards to fees, funding, visas etc.
- Interruptions for flexible/ modular students in their final year of study
The revised procedures are now available in the Academic Manual 2020-21, and further guidance for students and staff will be published soon. Departments should continue to use the former regulations and application form for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic session.
