Do you need help with your study planning? You can always refer to My planning in the Course planner or contact your tutor or Study Advisor when you need help choosing which courses to do.
Approval, study progress, marks and entry requirements
If you want to deviate from the exam programme mentioned in the Education and Examination Regulations, you will have to ask for approval beforehand. If your request is approved, it will eventually also be entered into OSIRIS, and incorporated into your examination programme and study progress overview.
