If you pause or stop studying here while on a Student visa, we must inform UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). As you are no longer an active student, we will withdraw our Student visa sponsorship. UKVI will then curtail (shorten) your visa and write to you with an earlier visa end date. 

Please note that we cannot tell you specifically when UKVI will shorten your visa as this is a UKVI process in which we have no involvement. 

You will need a new visa for when you return to study after your interruption. Our “Interrupting or withdrawing from study” webpage contains information about how interrupting your studies can impact your visa status in the UK, and what the process is for you to return to study following your interruption.
