• Defer modules (also applies to split year)

How to notify us:

If any of the above applies to you, please email funding@herts.ac.uk to request that a COC is sent to the SLC.

Have you withdrawn or suspended your studies?

• You must complete the formal withdrawal process with your school of study before we are able to notify SLC that you are no longer in attendance
• In order to avoid an overpayment in funding, you must also contact SFE (or relevant awarding body) to notify them that you are no longer in attendance. You are required to do this in addition to contacting the Student Funding and Financial Support team.  To notify the Student Funding and Financial Support team, please follow the relevent links below.
