The regulation regarding students wishing to complete their degree at another university is as follows:
Where students may be migrating or may be away from the country for a significant period and have few courses to complete their UWI degree, there may be discretionary decisions made by the Faculty and sanctioned by Academic Board.
Outlined below are the steps for students wishing to pursue courses at another university.
- Apply via the Automated Student Request Module to “Complete Programme at Another University”. If you are unable to access the online portal, a letter to the Deputy Dean will suffice.
- Complete and submit to your department an Application for Approval to Participate in the University of the West Indies Exchange/Study Abroad Programme form as well as a copy of the course outline(s) for the course(s) you wish to pursue overseas. Please indicate whether the course is a core or an elective. The department will review the course outlines to determine equivalency in content and level with the Mona course before signing and returning the form back to you.
- Your will then be required to return the form to the Faculty Office for Dean's approval. The Faculty Office will notify you of the outcome via your contact information on the form.
