ISSUES DELAYING REGISTRATIONS- cont..

CERTIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS – what are the accepted certifications?

Co and prerequisites – licensee advisors do not check student’s requested modules – when you submit the online registration, you get an automated response, act on that. Do not wait for us to get back to you.

Pre-requisites means that you must have passed that subject and/or subjects before you can take the selected module.

Co-requisites means that you must take the module indicated as a co-requisite with the specific module.

Lack of feedback to students, inform students of the outcome of their applications – do not call us and say the student is in your office and they want answers.
