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.

Preregistration for MA3K7 & MA3L3

For the modules MA3K7 Problem Solving with Python and MA3L3 Communicating Mathematics, we operate a preregistration. This is because there are limited spaces on these modules due to the way in which they are taught. Please carefully read the information below about how pre-registration will work for each of these modules - if you want to apply to take either module you will need to submit a preregistration form, which will open in mid July.

MA3K7 - Problem Solving with Python

Important Information

• The capacity of this module is strictly limited to100.

• You must apply to take this module by completing the pre-registration form (form opens in July), however pre-registering does not guarantee you a place on the module.

• In the case that more students pre-register than there are available places, year 3 students on G100 will be given priority and places offered based on order of application.

• The pre-registration form will open in mid July and closes at the end of August (more detailed dates will be confirmed in term 3).

• You will be contacted by the Taught Programmes Office in early September (date TBC) to confirm if you have been offered a place on the module.

• If you have a place confirmed, you will need to add MA3K7 to your module registration in eVision in early October (final date TBC) if you intend to take up your place. If you do not add it to your registration by that date we will assume you no longer wish to take the module.

• If you add this module to your registration in eVision without pre-registering and having your place confirmed it will be removed from your selection.

• After the October deadline, we will allocate any spare places based on order of application during the initial pre-registration period. If all students who applied have been allocated a place, the form will re-open for a second round of applications (details will be provided at that time).

• During term 2 module registration, you will again need to ensure you are registered for MA3K7 in eVision by mid January (actual date TBC) to retain your place.

• After the January deadline, should any places become available we will allocate spare places based on order of application during the initial pre-registration period. If all students who applied have been allocated a place, the form will re-open for a final round of applications (details will be provided at that time).

• Students on G100 who are offered a place but subsequently transfer to G103 may be removed from the module if it becomes full and places were not offered to all G100 students who applied.

• Joint degree students may apply for this module but will only be offered a place if there is space after Maths students have been accommodated.

MA3L3 - Communicating Mathematics

Important Information

• The capacity of this module is strictly limited to 30.

• You must apply to take this module by completing the pre-registration form (form opens in July), however pre-registering does not guarantee you a place on the module.

• In the case that more students pre-register than there are available places, year 3 Maths students will be given priority and places will be offered based in order of application.

• The pre-registration form will open on in mid July and closes at the end of August (more detailed dates will be confirmed in term 3).

• You will be contacted by the Taught Programmes Office by early September (final date TBC) to confirm if you have been offered a place on the module.

• If you have a place confirmed, you will need to add MA3L3 to your module registration in eVision in early October (final date TBC) if you intend to take up your place. If you do not add it to your registration by that date we will assume you no longer wish to take the module.

• If you add this module to your registration in eVision without pre-registering and having your place confirmed it will be removed from your selection.

• After the October deadline, we will allocate any spare places based on order of application during the initial pre-registration period. If all students who applied have been allocated a place, the form will re-open for a second round of applications (details will be provided at that time).

• Joint degree students may apply for this module but will only be offered a place if there is space after Maths students have been accommodated.
