I'm sorry to hear you wish to leave BU. I would advise you speak to your programme administrator and/or programme leader. SUB Advice can talk through the financial implications with you and ensure you have considered the consequences of leaving BU so you can make an informed decision. Placement and Careers office in The Edge may also be useful to you as they can provide careers advice.

Thanks for the question. Your registration as a student is the key issue here - and that expires, assuming you pass all units without the need to resit, on the publication date of your final transcript. There may be other ways to bridge any financial gap in the intervening period - contact us on subuadvice@bournemouth.ac.uk at that time, and we'll see what we can find for you.

Thanks for your question - you're certainly not the only student to have concerns like this. I'd always recommend that you try to set up a meeting with your tutor, to discuss your concerns - there may be simple steps that either of you can take to improve the situation. Failing that, you could talk to your Course Rep (check out www.subu.org.uk/content/747303/) - Reps can be very useful as a less direct way of handling difficult issues. Another alternative would be to have a chat with BU Chaplaincy (http://studentportal.bournemouth.ac.uk/health/chaplaincy/index.html) - they can offer some excellent advice on dealing with conflict issues and may even, if your tutor agrees, be able to offer a mediation service.

You must speak to your programmes administrator as soon as possible if you have missed/could miss an assignment deadline. Depending on your circumstances you may be able to submit mitigating circumstances.

For more information regarding mitigating circumstances please refer to the Student Portal on the BU website under the Help and Advice tab. There you will find a link to Rules and Regulations.

You may wish to seek study support through the Academic Skills tab on myBU. You can also talk to the relevant tutor or lecturer.

It is important to raise any issues you have to your School as soon as possible. If you feel the issues are too personal then SUBU Advice is willing to listen and provide guidance on how to approach the School. All information will remain confidential, as outlined in our Confidentiality Policy.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. The decision to let a student change course is made on a case-by-case basis. The short answer is that you should talk to your Programme Administrator and the Programme Administrator for the course you want to change to. You'll need to meet the entry requirements for the new course, but you may be able to transfer credits across.
