This session will focus on students who wish to transfer to a later academic year start date of their course, known as a change in seasonal intake. It will clarify the difference between a ‘course transfer’ and a ‘change in seasonal intake’, provide examples and cover the potential impact on students payments. This session will also focus on multi-application students, with a particular focus on multi academic year. Practitioners who participate should leave this session with a more in depth understanding of both; a change in seasonal intake students and multi academic year students, which will better assist them in providing informed IAG to their student population.
