Registering for modules (eVision)

Registering and deregistering is done on-line via the University's module registration system which is known as eVision.

Core, Optional Core and Listed Modules (those appearing in lists with letter names like List A, List B, List C) will be approved immediately on line. Other modules are known as Unusual Options and for these you must register online in eVision and, unless otherwise stated in this handbook, also fill in an Unusual Option form see Unusual Options.

Note that there can be other special procedures for registering for modules, including having to preregister and confirm your place with the department concerned well in advance, look out for details of this in this handbook.

The notable examples of this for Maths students are Philosophy Department modules and Warwick Business School modules. Don't miss out on a module you really want to take by not following the right procedures.

Registration, including pre-registration

Each student is required to make a preliminary registration (or pre-registration), via eVision, in advance for modules they wish to take. Students pre-register for the first time in Term 1, before the end of Week 3. The university uses data from pre-registration during the year to assess demand for particular modules and to assist in timetabling.

You have several opportunities to fine-tune your current selection of modules in eVision:

• in Term 1, the preliminary registration session: this session opens on Wednesday 25th September 2024 at 0900 and closes on Monday 14th October 2024 at 1700 (which is at the start of week 3).
• in Term 2: this session open on Monday 6th January 2025 at 0900 and closes on Friday 24th January 2025 at 1700 (this is at the end of week 3).
• after that a final opportunity to deregister only, see Deregistration below.

All students (but especially those whose overall mark was less than 55% in their previous year) are encouraged to discuss their choice of modules with their tutor. Where a low-scoring student submits an ambitious registration, the Department may require further discussion with a view to considering a more manageable programme.

Deregistration

You may deregister from an optional module, up to the relevant deadlines:

• End of the last week of Term 2 for modules examined in April
• A further deadline over the Easter Vacation for modules examined in May/June, usually the last week of that vacation

Please keep an eye on your emails for the exact dates.

The Academic Office will not accept deregistration beyond the deadline except on medical or compassionate grounds approved by the department's Director of Undergraduate Studies (this rule is agreed with other university departments, and we enforce it strictly.)

Note, you may not be allowed to deregister from a module for which you have submitted (or should have submitted) work counting for more than 10% of the credit for that module. This is particularly true for modules from departments other than Mathematics, and, in particular, if an exam occurs after deregistration has closed you will almost certainly have to sit that exam and have it count. For Maths modules we tend to be more relaxed about this rule and allow deregistrations even after a typical 15% of assessed work has been completed.
