Talk Before You Walk

This page outlines all relevant information for students to consider before they decide to withdraw, transfer or defer from their programme of study at DkIT. At DkIT, we want to support you to make the best decision for you so we suggest that you 'Talk Before You Walk'.

It is not uncommon for students to have doubts about their course or college experience. At DkIT, we want to support you to make the best decision for you.

We have many supports available to help you do this – so please talk to us before you walk.
