  19. Transfers

  20. Transfers • end of level 1 • must pass year 1 • straightforward between computing programmes • from computing to CDW • must “lose” 1 year • from CDW to computing: • probably must “lose” 1 year • may be possible to take exam in IS and E-Business at end of year 2

  21. Transfers • end of level 2 • must pass year 2 • between computing programmes • options available (some will become compulsory) to make up for the unattended courses • prevent re-doing material already studied at level 2 • from computing to CDW • must lose 1 year; do both Design modules + nformally work on project • from CDW to computing: • must lose 1 year; do both “lost” cu + informally work on project

  22. Good Practice

  23. Good Practice • a few points • cw submission / excuses • formal evidence normally required • problems • contact PT (or someone else DST, DOS, Secretary) asap • this may become proof of extenuating circumstances • keep good contact with PT • meetings with staff • surgeries • ask for appointments • check your college email regularly • make sure we have your correct contact details

  24. Good Practice • a few points • temporary withdrawals • does not excuse from resits • deferred assessment (including project) • only in exceptional circumstances • must be flagged early, generally • otherwise, awarded only by exam sub-board
