Declaration (to be signed by the student)
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 €50 per credit for
all modules listed above which I am carrying from a previous year. (A typical
5 credit module will cost €250).
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 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.
Where a student progresses carrying credits from an award year, they will not be eligible to be conferred
with their higher award until they have passed all modules carried from their lower award.
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.

I confirm that the student meets the rules of progression. I have discussed the modules with the student
and I advise that the modules listed on page one are repeated. I have checked the approved course
schedule to ensure that these modules are running in the academic year 2015/16 and inserted
equivalent modules where necessary due to Programmatic Review.
