## Termination of studies

**Termination of studies** is the final level of [academic intervention](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/students/academic/intervention/), applied in situations where there is no feasible way to complete your degree within the time limits, or where you are already studying on [probation](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/students/academic/intervention/probation-warning/) and have not met the conditions of probation. If your studies are terminated, you cease to be a student at the University.

If you are informed that your studies are to be terminated, you will receive details of how to appeal against the decision, should you wish to do so.
