R42 - Request to Exit Programme with an Alternative Award

A programme of study may have alternative exit routes, named exit awards, whereby a student may receive an award for a lesser number of credits than the programme on which he/she is registered. Exit awards must be approved either at the time of accreditation or subsequently by Education Committee. Exit awards are outlined in programme regulations along with any specific core module requirements.

A student taking Micro Credential modules may also be able to receive an exit award if they have accumulated sufficient credits for an award.

R42 Form should be completed to request to exit from your current programme of study with an alternative award where this is available.

Forms received after the end of the term will not be processed until the Progression and Award Board has taken place.
