Intercalation and the effect on a Student Visa

According to UKCOSA, if you are in the category of student you aren't allowed to study part-time, you have to be enrolled on a full-time course.

Now, does this mean that if a US student on a UK student visa intercalates for a few months, they aren't enrolled anymore, and technically have to leave the country, or are they still enrolled on the course?

Thanks in advance,

I've just found out  http://www2.essex.ac.uk/stdsup/welfare/wd-intermit.shtm

Great ... so we have this to contend with in addition to applying for FLR ...

It can't seem that surprising or unfair, surely.  If you come to the UK on a student visa, and you stop studying, you need to take steps to either leave or switch to a different status.  I have to say, it seems reasonable to me.

I don't want a debate about the "reasonableness" of the rules, I was just venting my frustration at the bind that me and my missus are in financially (as well as living costs my missus is in quite bad health so we have to find money for treatment as well),  comments which don't have an understanding of our individual situation don't really help us and make us feel more anxious at a time when we need support.

Excuse me?  You asked about the rule about interrupting studies which is affecting you, and I tried to give it some context and clarification.  How could I have any "understanding of your individual situation" from your post, when you didn't actually mention it?

I wish you well.  Don't shoot the messenger.
