What happens when you quit your degree course?

Hi all,
I started a 4yr degree course only 4 weeks ago but because of personal reasons I am having to leave. I'm not sure of the best way to go about it though. I have moved to London for this course and signed a 6 month contract for a house share and have also received my first payment of student loan/grant. I am going to start looking for work straight away but as it stands right now, I am jobless.
Does anyone know the best course of action here and what is likely to happen? I mean, what happens when I tell my school that I'm leaving? Do they tell UCAS and then UCAS demand the money back, meaning I then can't pay my rent? Also, will I have to repay the school fees for the 4yrs or just for the first year? I
I need to let my school know next week that I'm leaving, they will start to wonder why I haven't been going to classes.
Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

There is lots of help at the University. Silvercar is right, speak to your tutor and also your pastoral tutor. There may be a way around your personal circumstances. It is a big decision, don't rush into it. Hope it goes well for you.Just when I'm about to make ends meet, somebody moves the ends0
