Please Note these Terms and Conditions:
· You will not be able to return to your studies if your financial obligations to the University have not been cleared, either past obligations or any fees owing for the semester in which you want to return.
· The University is required to report any student who is in the UK on a student visa but who is not attending classes to the UK Home Office. This includes students who are taking a Leave of Absence. The University's granting of an LoA does not permit a student on a student visa to remain in the country while on LoA.
· If you hold a student employment contract issued by the University, your employment will terminate under that contract when you are no longer a registered student at the University. You will be invited to a meeting with the Director of Human Resources to discuss the matter before your LoA is approved.
· If you are funding your education through student loans (SFE or US Department of Education), you may be liable for the outstanding fees for the current term you are attending depending on your disbursement calendar. Please consult with Jason Elliot (elliotj@richmond.ac.uk) and Joe Ramdas (ramdasj@richmond.ac.uk) about your potential financial liability.
