Before you make any decisions on leaving your course, we would ask that you link in with the Student Support team to help you to consider your options carefully.
For a number of different reasons, a student may find themselves in a position where they no longer wish to or are in a position to continue on their programme. In this case, a student would withdraw or deregister from the University.
Deregistering means that a student officially notifies the University that they are leaving their programme. Students remain liable for fees up to the date they officially withdraw from the University.
In order to formally de-register from the University, a student must complete this online De-registration form
- In the case of international students who are in SETU on a study visa, via the International Office, if a student has deregistered from their programme, the student must satisfy the requirements of the Immigration Authorities in Ireland as outlined by the Waterford, or other relevant Immigration Office.
- This process officially notifies the University that a student has left their programme.
- Following on from this, a letter is sent to confirm that the withdrawal/deregistration has been processed.
- Once deregistered, a student will no longer have access to University facilities.
NOTE: A student has not withdrawn their place on a programme in SETU until the above process has been completed, discussion with an academic member of staff is not sufficient to deregister.
Further details about Student Deregistration/Withdrawal and Deferral are available in the University's process document here.
