Changing
Course
Changing Course is
often possible, and sometimes desirable. The Tripos system allows
considerable flexibility, but not absolute freedom. You are admitted
to the College to study the course for which you applied. If at
any stage you wish to change, you will have to find out:
(i) whether you are eligible
for your new course under the University's regulations;
(ii) whether the Director
of Studies in your proposed new subject is prepared to accept you;
(iii) whether there are financial
implications (as, for example, in a change from a 3-year course
to a 4-year course) – NB In order to qualify for funding for a fourth
year, you would need to apply for the change of course before the
end of your first year.
If you think you may wish to change
course, collect a `Changing Course' form from the Tutorial Office.
The form tells you whom you will need to consult, and in what sequence.
No request to change course is valid until the form has been completed
and signed by all the relevant parties. In certain cases, a change
may have to be approved by the Council.
