Am I making the right decision?
Leaving the University means withdrawing completely from your course without returning to your studies.
Please read the information on ‘Why you may wish to leave’ as support is available to help you to make the right decision.
Some courses include a wide range of modules to give you a broad understanding of the subject. While it might not be what you expect now, it may be in the future as you progress through the teaching.
If you're unsure about your course, speak to your Course Director. They can explain the modules and learning outcomes, and suggest alternatives if needed, like switching to another course that might share similiar modules/credits.
You can also speak to your Course Representative who can resolve issues and will also work closely with the Course Director on your behalf.
The Student Wellbeing Team can help you will study tips, learning styles, and stress management techniques to help you study and perform better in exams.
Whether you are running out of money, are finding it difficult to manage your funds, or if you need additional support, our dedicated Student Money Advice team are here to help.
Are you in receipt of reasonable adjustments to assist you with your studies? If not, meet with our AccessAbility team to find out what additional support may be available to you.
If your condition has temporarily deteriorated, you could review options to take a leave of absence or transfer onto a distance-learning course so that you may still complete your studies.
Balancing studies and university life can be challenging, but support and advice is available.
Whatever the issue that is affecting your studies, you can discuss it confidentially with a member of our Student Wellbeing Team.
If you find yourself in a position that you cannot complete mandatory portions of your course, there is support available. For example, deferring for a year of taking a formal leave of absence.
Remember we can also help with any financial or emotional support you may require to enable you to come back to university and succeed. Visit out Student Money website for more information, or contact the team directly at sma@ulster.ac.uk.
