    What shoud I do if I intended to change the course after I've failed the repeats in Aug?

    Should I contact the CAO or the registry?

    Well there would be no point in contacting the CAO, as far as I'm aware the deadline for applications is long gone.. not unless you wish to apply for the 2010 academic year....

    If you wish to change course within the same university, you would want to talk to the heads of the courses that you wish to transfer from and into.

    And tbh you will have to be fairly convincing that you deserve the place. AFAIK they usually allow inter course transfers pending the successful completion of a year, i.e. passing your exams.

    I did this last September and you have to plead your case strongly. Make sure it is what you want and be convincing about it, you will probably have to meet the career guidance person and get a report from her stating that you are suited to the course etc.
    It is possible no matter what they tell you, I only joined the course the day before lectures began last year.

    BE READY TO FIGHT YOUR CORNER AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
