Internal Transfer Form
Students may apply, through their tutor, for permission to transfer to another course. Transfer application forms , should be submitted to the Applications and Admissions Team via email to [email protected] who will process the applications on behalf of the Senior Lecturer
While every effort will be made to allow adequately qualified students to change course, it will not be possible to permit a transfer into a course which already has a full complement of students. In the case of Junior Fresh transfers students will not be permitted to transfer if they do not have sufficient points for the course into which they are seeking to transfer.
All students who are being considered for a transfer to the first year of another course should register for the course to which they were admitted
Under no circumstances should students register or attend lectures for a course that they have applied to transfer to until their application to transfer has been formally approved by the Senior Lecturer.

Where the transfer is being permitted the student is informed, in writing, and requested to confirm acceptance by a particular date. Once a student has confirmed their acceptance, via email, to the Admissions Team a copy of their email will be circulated to their tutor and all relevant academic and administrative offices.
