Binding courses

Remember to withdraw from a course or exam within the registration deadline. Otherwise the course is binding and you must pass it to complete your programme.

If you do not withdraw from a course or exam within the registration deadline it will count as a used exam attempt. That means the course is binding and becomes part of the your programme specification.

This means that you must pass the course to complete your programme.

Therefore, give it some serious thought when choosing courses and make sure to withdraw again if you find that the course was not right for you or that it is too difficult for you to complete.
