What happens after you submit your papers for approval.
Course approval process
Once you've submitted your choice of papers for consideration for approval, we'll review it to ensure that it meets the requirements for your chosen programme.
- If everything is fine, we'll approve your selection of papers and you'll receive a message in your portal advising this.
- In some cases, changes may be required or a staff member will contact you to discuss your course selection. They may also recommend that you discuss your course with an adviser.
- For some specialised programmes, where all papers are compulsory, they will be automatically approved.
Remember to regularly check your eVision portal for any notifications or requests for additional information.
Review the outcome of course approval
- You'll be advised via your eVision portal whether your course has been approved or changes are required.
- You can then review your course, along with notes about any changes and information about your fees.
You can normally only make changes to your papers within certain time frames and depending on whether you have completed the course enrolment declaration or not.
