Taught Postgraduate (Full Time) Change of Status Form

Before completing the form, you should discuss your proposed course of action with your personal tutor/other staff in your department/school.
Your change of status may impact on tuition fees paid or due, and you may need to pay a continuation fee. If you are unsure as to exactly how your change of status may affect your tuition fees, please seek advice from the Student Fees Section of Registry Services on 0114 222 1306 or by emailing m.moore@sheffield.ac.uk. Further information is available from the link on the right to Continuation Fees.
If you are in the UK on a student visa your change of status will not be processed until you have spoken to a University immigration adviser. To make an appointment, please email: international.students@sheffield.ac.uk, or visit Student Support and Guidance, Level 6, University House. Please note that the University must report changes in your circumstances to UKBA, including: changes of programme, leave of absence, withdrawal, failure to attend.

Once you have read all the guidance notes, download the Change of Status form using the link in the Downloads box on the right.
Complete all of sections 1, 3A and 3B of the form (section 3B is on the reverse side) and give the form to your tutor for approval.
Your department will process your application and forward it to the Student Services Department.
If your request is accepted, you will be sent an approved copy of the form to retain for your records. You will also be advised of the Continuation Fee payable.
