Basic Concept Of Student Mutation

BASIC CONCEPT OF STUDENT MUTATION A. Understanding Student Transfers Mutation is the transfer of students from one class to another class that is parallel or the transfer of students from one school to another school of the same type. Student transfers can also be called student transfers. Student transfers have two meanings, namely: a) Transfer of students from one school to another school of the same type. The transfer of students from one school to another school of the same type is the transfer of an area or a place. The type of school, level or class or new study program is the same as the type, school and major at the previous school. b) Transfer of students from one type of program to another type of program. The transfer of students from one type of program to another type of program is the transfer of students from one major to another major that is different from the previous one but remains in one school or area. And must meet the following requirements: 1) Students must have followed the program that has been selected (determined), at least for 1 semester. This means that after 2 semesters of following the selected program, it is still possible to move to another program, 2) Students must meet the number of subjects required for the intended program. In this case, the subjects that have been obtained are reviewed, examined whether there is harmony with the new and desired program subjects. In this case, it is possible that there will be appropriate subjects and some that are not appropriate, 3) Students must have full confidence that the new program is more appropriate to their abilities and interests, and 4) The transfer of programs must obtain approval from the parents or guardians of the students concerned. This is to prevent misunderstandings, if problems arise later. B.
