Dear All
We have a policy that all re-entries must be paid for by the student. This
is slightly different than re-sits - i.e. when a student enters for a unit
for which they previously entered, payment must be made if no withdrawal
was made. There are individual exceptions. Students coming back into A2
year, pay for AS re-sits. Students wishing to return to college to re-sit
units after they have officially left college are now enrolled through
flexi-study (open learning) but payment for re-entries remains the
same. Its still very messy as many students do not pay and there are
issues with invoicing.
