Report + Support

Everyone at the University of Warwick, whether studying, working, or visiting, has the right to feel safe. Harassment of any kind is completely unacceptable, and our community is an environment where prejudice and socially unacceptable behaviour are never tolerated. If you feel you have been a victim of harrassment, please visit the Report + Support website and consider either reporting it anonymously, or speaking with an advisor.

Temporary Withdrawal

All students can request a period of temporary withdrawal, which is an approved break from study. Students can request temporary withdrawal for financial, medical, parental, or personal reasons. For undergraduate students, the minimum period of temporary withdrawal is 12 months. For more information on temporary withdrawal, see here. 

If you are considering a period of temporary withdrawal, please follow these steps: 

 

• Read through the University’s information about temporary withdrawal carefully, including the University’s Maximum Period of Study policy. 

• Speak to your personal tutor or senior tutor for advice about your situation and whether temporary withdrawal would be suitable for you. 

• Email historyoffice@warwick.ac.uk to ask about applying for temporary withdrawal. We will be able to support you with your request, answer questions about temporary withdrawal and explain factors that you might need to consider. 

• Speak to Student Finance about the possible financial implications of a period of temporary withdrawal. The department is not able to give financial advice. 

• Submit a temporary withdrawal request on eVision. Please do not do this until you have spoken to your tutor and the History Office. 

 

If you have any questions about temporary withdrawal, please speak to your personal tutor or email the History Office.
