Dear Sofonie,
We are writing to follow up on our previous messages regarding an important update about your studies at the University of York. As we have not yet received a response, we are now providing this information in writing.
Please find attached a formal letter confirming that the Academic Registrar has approved a recommendation for your registration to be suspended under the Support to Study Procedure, effective from 12 March 2025. This means you have been placed on a leave of absence until Semester 2 of the 2025/26 academic year.
The letter outlines the details of this suspension, including your access to University resources, arrangements for accommodation, and the process for returning to study. It also provides information on your right to appeal this decision within 28 days and the support available to you.
We encourage you to review the letter carefully. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspect of this further, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Notification of Enforced Leave of Absence for Sofonie Dala (302058798/1)
Dear Sofonie,
Following our meeting on 26 February, 2025 I am writing to confirm that the Academic
Registrar has approved the recommendation that your registration be suspended until the
beginning of Semester 2 of the 2025/6 academic years under the Support to Study
Procedure.
The suspension will be effective from today, the 12th of March 2025. During the period
between today and 2 February 2026:
● You will not be expected to engage in study and the time will not count towards your
registration period for your course.
● You will retain access to Library and IT resources but will not be expected to attend
campus regularly.
● You will not be eligible to remain resident at the University beyond the notice period
given by the Accommodation office (8 weeks). If you wish to vacate your
accommodation before this period expires, the Accommodation office has agreed to
waive any charges beyond the date you vacate. The Accommodation office will be in
touch with you directly to confirm this.
In order to return to study, you will need to engage in Support to Study, in order to formulate
a return to study plan, in order to ensure that you are willing and able to engage in study
safely.
You have the right to appeal this decision under Regulation 6.7 by following the Student
Academic Appeals Procedure within 28 days of the date of this letter. You can be supported
through this process by Yorksu's Advice and Support Centre if you would like.
I realise that this is likely to be difficult for you and urge you to make use of all the support
available to you during this period of transition. If you have any questions about this
process, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Kind Regards,
Jen Wotherspoon
