You are accepted into the University for a given degree Course, and remain registered for that Course unless you make a successful application to transfer to another Course.
If you are considering making a transfer you should in the first instance consult your tutor and, if necessary, the Senior Tutor. It is possible to transfer between the three-year and four-year variants of the courses at any time up to the end of the second academic year.
The formal process for making a course transfer requires you to make an application via Student Records. This will be sent automatically to the Physics undergraduate office for approval. If the transfer involves another department, it will then be sent to the second department for approval by them.
MODULE REGISTRATION (click to expand)
In weeks 1 to 3 (term 1) you need to register for the options including any unusual options that you wish to take. You do this using eMR (electronic Module Registration). It is your responsibility to check that your option choices satisfy your course specifications. If you change course after the start of the year you will need to re-register for a new set of modules appropriate for the new course.
In weeks 15 to 16 (start of term 2) you can add or delete optional modules from your list. After the end of this period, you cannot register for any more modules. You should check that after any changes your choices still satisfy your course specifications. Be careful not to de-register inadvertently from core modules. At the end of this period your module registrations become your provisional examination registrations.
EXAMINATION REGISTRATION & DEREGISTRATON
The eMR pages list the dates relevant to examination registration.
You should check your confirmed registrations carefully and inform us immediately of any errors. Examinations are held either early in term 3 ("April exams") or in the second half of the term ("main season exams"). You can delete optional modules examined in the April exams until the last day of term 2. You may delete optional modules examined in the main season until the beginning of week 30 (the date is published on the eMR pages). You should not attempt to deregister from modules which would mean that you no longer satisfy the course specifications.
You should consider carefully the modules for which you are registered as each deadline approaches. Do not leave de-registration until close to the deadline but do it as soon as you have reached a decision. Once the deadline has passed you are committed to completing the assessments for these modules. If you do not attend the examination for a module for which you are registered you will be credited with a mark of zero.
LEVEL of MODULES
Please make sure that your choice of modules will satisfy the rules for award. Essentially this means that you must pass at least 90 credits at the level associated with your current or a higher year. For example, in year 3 this means modules with codes like PX3.. or MA3.. or higher. See the pages on Progression and Classification for more detail.
