Taught Postgraduate (Part Time or Distance Learning) 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.
You may also wish to consult the Union of Students Advice Centre as appropriate. General guidance and information is also available via the Student Services information Desk (SSiD) website on the website on the Help and Support for Students webpage (see links on right).
Your change of status may impact on tuition fees paid or due, and you may even be entitled to a refund. 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 Fee Reduction and Refunds Policy and also in the leaflet Students and Benefits obtainable from the Union of Students Advice Centre or from their website (see link on right).

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 sections 1 and 5 of the form. Please insert the date from which your withdrawal took effect in the box in section 5. This may be different from the date on which you complete the form.
Return the form to your usual contact in your academic department.
Your department will forward the form to the University’s Student Services Department for processing and you will be sent a copy of the form to retain for your records.
