Things to consider and steps to take prior to requesting a course or programme change.

Firstly, we advise discussing your intentions with your Department to get academic advice. Contact your Department Administrator or Personal Tutor who will be able to help.
If you intend to move from one department to another, the department you are wishing to move to must also approve the request. Therefore, you will need to make contact with them to obtain academic approval.
A course change can result in tuition fee implications, for further information contact the Student Centre to find out how a course change may affect your tuition fees.
For Home students, a course change may impact on your funding for both the current academic year and your overall course duration
If you are an international student, a course change may affect the conditions of your Tier 4 visa and possibly your financial sponsor arrangements. You may wish to contact the Immigration department for further information prior to making your request.

Once you have considered the above and have decided to proceed with your course change request, please carry out the following steps:-

Once logged in to your eVision portal, select the 'My Course' option. Refer to the 'My Requests' container and select the 'Course Change' tab.
Follow the steps within the online task, paying close attention to the questions asked.
Your request will go through a number of stages, the first stage is department approval, following this your request is sent on to the Record's team (to amend your student record as per the changes). You can monitor the status of your online request (from start to finish) via the 'Request Progress' container in eVision. The Record's department contact you once the record updates are complete.
Once the amendments have been made to your student record, the relevant departments then advise any necessary external bodies of these changes, such as UK Visas & Immigration (for international students ) or Student Finance England (for Home students).
If you are an international student we will generally need to report a course change to UK Visas & Immigration, and we recommend that you also notify them of the alteration to the course details on your original visa.
