Can I change my course?
The course of study you initially submit with your application to enrol at the University of Otago, or that you submit as a returning student is not set in concrete. In fact in many cases you could change it completely. Depending on what you papers you wish to change it is possible in many cases to add or remove elements of your course.
During Course Approval at the beginning of the year and second semester, advisors will be available to discuss your couse in detail, and you will be able to make necessary changes at this time. Please note there are deadlines for change of course applications.
