This will cancel your submitted request. 

If you need to reassign courses for StudyLink purposes for current and future semesters, then email your request directly to recordsmaintenance@auckland.ac.nz.

Please put 'Reassignment for StudyLink' in the email's subject line. 

Please note, once courses have been reassigned for StudyLink purposes, you must remain with that programme for the full academic year. You cannot be reassigned again until after October of that year, or StudyLink will consider you to be part-time again and may suspend your funding.
