Option Choices – Reminder

• It is your responsibility to choose courses that are within your programme structure and that you have passed the pre-requisite for. • If you have enrolled onto a course that is not on your

programme structure you will be removed from it. If it’s not on your programme structure, you can’t take it!

Option Choices - Reminders

• Note the requirements for courses with pre-requisite and co-requisite courses.

• If a pre-requisite is required, it means that you must have taken and passed at first attempt the pre-requisite course at a minimum of 40% (or in some cases a minimum of 60%). A compensated fail mark (between 30% and 39%) does not count as passing the pre-requisite.

• If a course outline states that a co-requisite is required, it means that you must take both courses together. The pre-requisite and co-requisite rules cannot be changed under any circumstances.

Option Choices - Reminders

• Important Note: Make sure that you double check for pre-requisites against the programme structures • All programme structures can be viewed here
