Changing MSc to HCAI: Does a failed free elective exam transfer if it's semi-mandatory in the new programme?
Hey everyone,
I'm hoping someone here has gone through a similar situation with the "pre-commencement credit transfer" or knows how Study Administration handles this.
My situation:
- I am currently enrolled in the MSc in Design and Innovation.
- I am taking Computer Vision this spring semester as a free elective.
- I have been admitted to change my study programme to the MSc in Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) starting this September.
- In the HCAI programme, Computer Vision is part of a semi-mandatory pool (restricted electives), so it is not strictly mandatory on its own.
My question: If I happen to fail the Computer Vision exam this semester, what happens when my new MSc starts in September?
Will the failed attempt be automatically transferred to my new HCAI study record? If so, does that mean I am "bound" to retake and pass Computer Vision, or is the binding cancelled because it's just a restricted elective, allowing me to simply pick a different course from that pool for HCAI?
My admission letter mentions that passed "common courses" are automatically transferred, but it doesn't specify what happens with failed attempts for courses that aren't strictly mandatory in the new plan.
Has anyone experienced something similar when changing master's programmes? Thanks in advance!
