Selection Process
The selection process will close on Wednesday 26 November at 12:00 (midday) and no further changes will be accepted after that time. While the form is open you can make changes, however any resubmission will overwrite previous submissions.
You must rank term 2 modules by preference (1 being your top choice, 2 your second choice, 3 your third choice ).
If demand exceeds spaces available on a module, you will be allocated at random (i.e. not on a first come first served basis) to fill the number of places available. You are asked to indicate your 1-3 choices on the form in case we are not able to grant you a place on your preferred option.
Please note that a module also needs a minimum number of participants to run. If a module does not attract enough interest it will be cancelled.
Please ensure you have fully reviewed the information available before making your selection to ensure you have fully understood the process.
Once the selections have been finalised you will be registered to the confirmed module and will be able to access the module area on my.wbs.
