Programme or Module Deferral

Deferrals

If you wish to apply for a deferral you must submit a Learner Record Amendment Form (LRAF), which is available to download from Moodle. You should submit your completed form to your faculty to be approved by your Programme Director. If your application for deferral is approved, your Programme Director will outline the conditions of the deferral and submit your LRAF to registration for processing. In the event that your deferral request is unsuccessful you will have the right to appeal the decision.

There are a few different types of deferral:

1. Programme Deferral: if you wish to defer your full programme of study until the next academic year

2. Module Deferral: if you wish to defer one module of your programme until the next academic year

3. Component Deferral: In the event that you need to defer your assessment to the next exam sitting due to extenuating circumstances such as illness, you will need to seek a component deferral. This type of deferral is for a one sitting maximum.

*Please Note: Programme and module deferrals are granted for one year only and for a second year only in exceptional circumstances.
