Cessation or Suspension of a PGT Programme

There are two separate designated forms (downloadable below) to request cessation or suspension of a PGT programme.

Suspension

Requests for suspension of postgraduate programme must be supported by the School Executive, and the Faculty Dean, and submitted for consideration by the Postgraduate Taught and Micro-Credential Sub-Committee which makes its recommendation to Graduate Studies Committee. GSC will make a recommendation to University Council, which grants final approval. 

Requests for suspension of programmes must be made on the designated form and submitted to Dr Ríonnagh Sheridan in Academic Affairs at rionnagh.sheridan@tcd.ie at least two working weeks before the relevant PGT-MC meeting to which it will be submitted. Please see the PG Suspension Request Form below.

Requests for suspension are normally considered only for one academic year to review the course and make a final decision on its future.

Cessation

Requests for cessation of postgraduate programme must be supported by the School Executive, and the Faculty Dean, and will be submitted to Graduate Studies Committee and Council for final approval. The designated Cessation Form must be submitted to the GSC Secretary Dr Ríonnagh Sheridan in Academic Affairs at rionnagh.sheridan@tcd.ie, at least two working weeks before the targeted GSC meeting. Please see the PG Cessation Request Form below.

Proposals to cease a programme must be approved at the latest at the last Council meeting to take effect in the following academic year.
