Changes being made to the student record system
[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v3files/shard1/85313/0b/f07bb5f3ff2733520ed869.png]
The Anniversary Registration project has been running for a number of years and is making changes to the student record systems that will allow PGT students whose programme of study doesn’t start at the traditional August/September start point to register at the start of their studies, and not have to re-register at the traditional academic year at a point in their studies that is often not appropriate for them.
This will mostly impact January start PGT programmes.
