Following the intended study structure is the set standard for your studies at ITU. The study structure considers the inherent progression built into the courses.
On the other hand, we acknowledge that sometimes life can get in the way of this. Therefore, if for some reason you need to push a course(s), you are able to.
Flexibility and responsibility
The flexibility is a result of not having a registration requirement, and it also comes with an added responsibility placed on you, the student, since it is your responsibility to register for your courses and keep inline with the rules put out by ITU and the Ministry of Education.
Be aware of the possible downfalls
It is important to stress that you need to carefully think about how you choose to administer the flexibility you have to push courses.
Maybe it proves to be difficult to follow the logic of your programme, if you have registered without acknowledging the inherent progression built onto the courses. Maybe by pushing courses you end up not meeting the requirements for the first-year exam, the progression requirement or you risk prolonging your education beyond the maximum programme duration.
If you due to special circumstances collide with these rules, please read about exemptions and special circumstances by following this link.
