Students registering for the QFA Regulation - Incompany Induction Programme:
Please note that because this exam is run once a month, it is not processed in the same manner as our generic courses. Students will only be registered for the exam date that they have selected when the previous exam date has passed. Applications are held until they can be processed. So please take note of when you selected to sit your exam as you will not receive any correspondence from us until a few weeks before your exam date.

Change of Examination Dates for Resits for Semester 2 Modules
Under University College Dublin regulations, students must have a 15 week period between the initial exam date (May 2008) and the resit date (currently scheduled for July 2008).

In order to facilitate this rule we are transferring the resit dates for Semester 2 modules from 19th and 26th July 2008 to 6th and 13th September respectively.

It is important to note the change of dates when booking annual leave.
