Returning form a Leave of Absence

Returning from a Leave of Absence

Having taken a Leave of Absence, you are likely to be thinking about your return to study. You may be ready to return back on your agreed date, or perhaps you need a bit more time before coming back to university. Perhaps you are thinking about changing universities or leaving altogether. Whatever your situation, you probably have questions.

It can be a daunting prospect coming back to university when you´ve had time away. The most important thing is not to panic and to remember that there are people here whose job it is to support you.

I need advice - who can I talk to?

Your Department

The first step is to talk to your personal tutor or someone else in your department about returning. Your personal tutor or member of the departmental support staff will be able to provide you with useful information about intro week, registration, module choice and anything else relevant to your return.

SSID

You may also find it useful to speak to the Student Services Information Desk (SSiD) in the Union Building – they will be able to give you advice and information on the next steps you need to take. You can visit in person or browse the SSiD information pages
