An Introduction to Module Choice.
• Module choice is your chance to choose modules and move one step closer to registering for the following academic year.
• The first step is an email sent by the registration team asking you to complete the online module choice process. Please ensure your email box is not full!
• The email will give you detailed information on how to complete the process through MUSE.
Do I need to complete Module Choice?If all your modules arepre-prescribed for thefollowing year thenyou do not need tocomplete the modulechoice exercise.
If you are unsure pleasecontact Tracy Hilton [email protected] or0114 2223737
When should this be completed?
Module choice should ideally be
completed by 23rd May 2011.
This gives us chance to approve
your modules and contact you if
there are any problems withyour choices.
What happens if I don’t do this?
• Failure to confirm your modules online will mean you will be unable to register online for the next academic year.
• Your student loan payment may be delayed and a late registration charge may also be applied.
How to pick your modules.• Check that you are choosing
modules from the correct prescribed list for your degree course. See following slide for an example.
• Try to have a 60:60 split across semesters. It is possible to have a 70:50 and 50:70 split but this is not ideal. Anything over this will be rejected.
• Check that you have the full 120 credits.
• Check you have the pre-requisites required for the modules you choose.
• Make sure you don’t pick modules that are not available to you, they will be rejected and the process will take longer.
• Don’t forget you can add/drop should you need to at the start of next year.
