Have you previously studied at Roehampton without completing your studies? Are you looking to return to study with us so you can complete your programme?

We understand that things happen and that there are many reasons why a student may need to pause their studies with us.

When circumstances change, and you are ready to come back, we are here to support you to make that happen, wherever possible.

Please note that any decisions will be made in line with our academic regulations.

FAQs

Unless you are currently still enrolled at Roehampton, you will need to submit an application to re-join the University.

Please include your previous Roehampton student number in your application, along with the transcripts for any credits that you were awarded. 

If you are still currently enrolled on your programme you can submit a request here.

The following scenarios may prevent former students from resuming their studies:

  • If you were ‘programme terminated’. If you were previously programme terminated from a programme at Roehampton then it is highly unlikely you will be able to return and resume your studies in the same programme. However, you may be able to return on another programme of study, or return but commence your studies from the beginning.
  • If you were expelled for disciplinary reasons. If your expulsion was time limited, you are permitted to return. If it is permanent, you will not be permitted to return.
  • If your period of study at Roehampton was more than five years ago. We will not ordinarily accept credits form more than five years ago. If this is the case for you, you will need to start your studies again from the beginning rather than resuming your studies from the point at which you left.

This will involve transferring your credits from your previous programme to the new programme of study.

The programme leader for the new programme, will be asked to make an assessment of whether this is possible.

Transferring from one programme to another is not guaranteed.

Resuming your studies, or repeating a year, can impact your eligibility for student finance support and you should contact your finance provider (e.g. Student Finance England) about this at the earliest opportunity.
