Withdraw from LSE

What can you do?

First and foremost, you should be aware that should you choose to withdraw from LSE, this process is irreversible. If you are looking to take a temporary break in your studies but then return, we would suggest looking at an Interruption instead.

In order to withdraw, you should first speak with your Academic Adviser or Supervisor. If you decide to proceed, there is a form to be completed and submitted to the Student Services Centre who will liaise with you to process the withdrawal.

If you are living in Halls of Residence, you should also inform the Residential Services Office as you will generally not be permitted to stay much beyond your withdrawal date.

The Student Advice and Engagament Team will process the withdrawal and should inform you of any consequences on visas.
