Dropping out after foundation year

I will be dropping out of my uni after the foundation year due to multiple reasons but mainly due to mental health reasons. Though since I am doing it after the year I will have completed the foundation year so will get the A level equivalent which a foundation year provides.Do I have to tell the university about leaving after the foundation year prior to completion or after.

You need to ask the university what award they will make if you pass the foundation year. This will not be a formally recognised qualification like A levels.

I would say it's an a level due to it being 6 modules each at 20 credits same as an a level

A levels are a recognised level 3 qualification awarded by an exam board.

A foundation year are university credits awarded by a university. Those credits are only officially recognised by the awarding university - there’s no quality assurance of university credits below level 4. Many universities will not issue an award or qualification for completion of a foundation year (they’re universities awarding HNC level 4 qualifications and above - not exam boards awarding level 3 qualifications). Instead the only proof of study will be a transcript of marks.

Read your course/program specification to see what early exit awards are offered.

It's an a level equivalent, already been through it with a family friend who's a teacher it's an a level equivalent
