can i change my course in UL now to a different one in UL

The Student Status Committee (SSC) deals with student transfer applications and has three meetings a year.

The first meeting was held on 15th September.

The second will be held on 2nd February.

The third meeting is held on 29th June.

The deadline for submissions is usually a few working days before the meeting.

There are many factors to consider when attempting a transfer and I suggest you post your question here in the Education Officer's thread or even set up a meeting with her.

You should move quickly as the deadline for the second SSC meeting will come around fast. Its also harder to get a transfer midway through the year than it is in the summer.

You should probably start your own thread instead of digging up one that's two years old.

Notwithstanding that, whether you have to pay fees or not depends on what course you wish to transfer to. If the course is related closely enough to the one you're doing now, you may be able to transfer at the same year level e.g. continue from 1st year Mech Eng to 2nd year Aero Eng.

I've no idea how much overlap Architecture has with any other course though - I'd suggest you seek out the course director of the course you want to transfer to and have a chat with them about it.

If you get a transfer on this basis, you won't have to pay any additional fees as you are not repeating a year level.

If there's not enough overlap, you'll have to terminate your current enrollment and start again in September in 1st year with the new course. You should be able to apply directly to the university, but you're subject to the same rules as new entry applicants regarding eligibility (CAO points basically) unless you'll qualify as a mature student.

In this scenario, you have to pay fees for each year level repeated. So if you've completed one year in the current course, you'll have to pay tuition fees for that year, and then you'll continue on from second year with free tuition fees as usual.

There's a cutoff point during the year past which you're deemed to have completed the year regardless of whether or not you've sat the end of semester exams and this may have already passed by now. You should contact SAA as soon as possible about this.
