A student may request to change their programme by the end of week two of teaching, and exceptionally by the end of week four.
At the end of a level of study an undergraduate student may request a transfer to another programme once they have received their ratified assessment results. This will only be considered if the request is academically appropriate and:
· The student’s ratified results would allow progression to the next level of study on their original programme
· The student has met the requirements to repeat the level as per regulation 126 (level 4 only)

Students on apprenticeship programmes may not change their programme as outlined in this regulation.

A postgraduate student may request a transfer to another programme within the first two weeks from the start of the course and exceptionally by the end of week four.

All programme changes require approval of the releasing and receiving programme leader and Associate Dean (Academic) or nominee.
