Students with 60 credits and a GPA of less than 2

If you have 60 credits but a GPA of less than 2 you must attend the Information Session and meet with your course coordinator immediately afterwards. This is a one-to-one session to assist you to decide which modules to repeat to increase your GPA. Please bring a copy of your results with you.

Applications cannot be processed until you have met with your course coordinator and your course coordinator has signed accordingly.

Declaration (to be signed by the student) / Please initial in each box below
1.  I hereby accept admission to a subsequent year of a course without having successfully completed the previous academic year.
2.  I am eligible to be considered for progression as I have achieved a minimum of 50 credits and a GPA of 1.66 (or 40 credits in the case of students on Erasmus exchange programmes).
3.  I realise that participating under these conditions will result in a workload which will be higher than normally expected from students.
4.  I confirm that the above listed modules are those that I have not completed successfully and that I agree to carry forward into the current academic year.
5.  I confirm that these incomplete modules are not considered essential prerequisites for modules in the following year.
6.  I understand that I must pay an additional per credit fee of €40 per credit for all modules listed above which I am carrying from a previous year.
7.  I realise that I may need to repeat two modules in order to increase my GPA above 2; and I realise that I should discuss with my course coordinator the number of modules I would need to repeat to achieve that. I realise that charges may apply to repeat additional modules.
8.  I agree to attend all scheduled classes in all modules for which I am registered (within constraints of timetabling of classes), and I realise that there may be occasions where timetables of modules I am carrying clash with timetables of modules from the current year.
9.  I accept that outstanding modules from the previous year must be satisfactorily completed before any results from examinations in the subsequent year will be considered by examination boards.
10.  I accept that outstanding modules can be carried to the next academic year only, and cannot be carried for more than one year.
11.  I realise that if I break this agreement, the Institute may withdraw any privilege to progress without completing the previous stage.
12.  I understand that I cannot progress carrying credits from an award year, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
13.  I confirm that I have discussed any aspects of this form that I am unclear about with my course co-ordinator and understand the implications of this application.

Students are advised to retain a photocopy of this form for their own records.

I confirm that I have engaged with ALL scheduled opportunities to repeat any outstanding modules prior to making this application and that I am not applying to progress from an award year.
