How easy is it to change qualification?

I’m registered on a degree in Criminology and would love to change to Criminology and Law.

I’ve nearly completed my first module, EMA is due a week today and this module is compulsory for both qualifications.

I’m registered to start my second module, however if I do change qualification I’d also need to change my module registration for October.

Is it too late?

What does this mean for SFE too? Just tell them the course name has changed?
It should be very straightforward, particularly as the module you've taken is compulsory for both. If your second module starts in October, you will need to get this sorted very quickly as registration closes soon. The best thing to do would be phone the OU about getting this sorted. (Also shouldn't be a problem for SFE, but you should let them know once it's confirmed.)

Thanks!

I think it’s sorted.

I rang and got passed to a senior advisor.

They have submitted the request. It takes 5 working days.

It means I miss the deadline to register for the next module if they don’t process this in the next few days. However he said they can manually over ride this as they have agreed to the change.
