I want to change or leave my course. What do I do?

Modified on Wed, 24 Aug, 2022 at 11:21 AM

University is a very big stepping stone and often people wonder if they made the right course choice. Here at the University of Bolton, we offer a lot of support and guidance if you find yourself in this situation. For students in this predicament, we recommend visiting our student and careers services for a chat and some advice on what is best to do or help to switch courses.


Once you have decided you want to change course, you can get in touch with your personal tutor and Programme Leader to start the process. You will need the approval of your current Programme Leader, the Programme Leader of the course you are applying to transfer to, and the funding team to approve any financial effects of the course change.


If you are wanting to leave your course, please seek advice from your Personal Tutor, Programme leader, or Student Advisors before acting.


Please note that all course transfers will still be subject to the entry requirements and academic processes.

There maybe issues relating to your Student Finance entitlement, so do make sure to speak with the Student Funding Advisor in Student Services before making your decision. 


At the University of Bolton, we understand our students have different requirements and we pride ourselves on the positive and supportive learning environment we provide. Being voted No. 1 for Student Satisfaction for the past three years (Complete University Guide, North West) is a testament to our approach.
