Withdraw from course before it starts

Hello! Currently I need to accept my unconditional offer at the University for Creative Arts. I also applied for the fully-funded scholarship from the university, from which I am expecting an answer during August. The course starts on September 16. The scholarship is a mandatory matter for me, without I couldn't start my studies, however I'm more than 80% sure that I will be awarded that. However, in the unfortunate scenario where I don't get the scholarship, can I withdraw from the course all safely considering the academic year hasn't already started?

So long as you don't formally enrol you won't be liable for any tuition fees.

That's usually 4-6wks ahead of the course start so you should have time to hear about your fnding.

You can withdraw whenever you like. The negative consequences occur when you do it while having started the academic year.

Answered above.

Heya,

You can go ahead and accept your Offer letter, just keep a check on the last day of paying the deposit/ first sem fees and enrolling for classes. You can easily withdraw before enrolling.

Hope this helps!
