There are many reasons why students may need or wish to take time away from the University. There may be personal, financial or medical issues interfering with their studies; opportunities for professional experience; family commitments; or the desire to just take a break.

Before leaving the University, you should have a clear understanding of what is required for returning and of the financial implications there may be from deferring your place.
