Student Transfer Arrangements
Expand
In common with the majority of the university sector, the University of Chichester makes use of credit accumulation and transfer to facilitate the transfer of students from other universities to a programme of study with us, or to facilitate the transfer of students from the University of Chichester to another university.
More detail about this can be
found in the University’s Admissions Policy.
Transferring in:
The process for transferring in to the University is initiated by the applicant. The applicant should apply using the normal application process (e.g. UCAS for a full time undergraduate) and supply the Admissions Office with a transcript from their current / former higher education provider, confirming their credits.
Year 2 / Level 5 entry students will need 120 credits; Year 3 / Level 6 entry students will need 240 credits.
The transcript and application are reviewed by the Admissions Tutor to assess whether the course / modules have similar learning outcomes and subject coverage to the Chichester provision and whether the transfer is possible. The Admissions Tutor will submit a brief written recommendation to the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Student Experience) or nominated Head of Academic Department as to why this applicant is suitable for entry with credit.
In all cases, marks achieved elsewhere will not count towards the classification of the degree at Chichester.
Recognition of prior experiential or certificated learning will not normally be granted for more than half of an undergraduate foundation degree, two thirds of an undergraduate bachelor degree or for more than half of a postgraduate award.
More information about this can be
found in the University’s Admissions Policy.
Transferring out:
To another UK higher education provider
The process for Students Transferring from the University of Chichester to another UK higher education provider (HEP) is initiated by the student, who should contact the HEP they wish to transfer to for advice on transferring. Students will also need to withdraw from their programme of study at the University of Chichester and to do this they need to email
StuRecords@chi.ac.uk
to request a Withdrawal Form in advance of their proposed date of withdrawal.
Once the withdrawal has been confirmed, the University will confirm any outstanding attainment at the next available Board of Examiners meeting, including any interim award that the student is eligible to receive. Where a student has completed and passed modules, but does not have sufficient credit for an interim award, the student will be issued with a transcript confirming their completed credit. Where confirmation of credit and/or award is required, in advance of the University issuing an official certificate and/or transcript, to facilitate transfer to another institution, a request can be made by emailing
Modular@chi.ac.uk
for a letter confirming attainment.
To another course within the University
A student may be able to change to a different course however this will be dependent upon meeting the Admissions requirements of the new course, the availability of the course, including timetable constraints and the amount of credit obtained at the point of transfer.
A Change in Registration form must be completed and this is
available online via ChiView (student portal)
. For continuing students this must be submitted by the end of their previous year’s study (including the re-sit period) and for new students the form must be submitted within the first two weeks of the start of the course.
More information about transferring out is available in the on-line Student Handbook,
accessible via ChiView
.
