Context
The Undergraduate Degree Programme Regulation 9 stipulates:
“Students should commence their degree programme at the start of the academic year, and should commence the courses that they are enrolled on at the start of semester in which the courses are taught. No student will be admitted to a degree programme more than two weeks after the start of the academic year without the permission of the Head of College. No student will be enrolled on a course more than two weeks after the start of semester in which the course is taught without the permission of the Head of College. Where a student withdraws from a course more than six weeks after the start of the relevant semester, the course enrolment remains on the student’s record. Students in Honours years are not permitted to withdraw from a course marked as optional on the Degree Programme Table more than six weeks after the start of the relevant semester in order to substitute the course with another optional course in a subsequent semester, unless the relevant Board of Examiners has awarded a null sit for the course under the Special Circumstances procedure.”
