If the module list you are choosing from is of a general nature and does not specify modulesindividually (e.g. Any third-year Mathematics module, that is, an unlisted option), you will betaken to the screen illustrated below when you click Select. This screen is also used to selectunusual options, that is, modules not normally available to students on your course, but whichthe Head of your department (or his/her nominated deputy) has approved in your case. If you wish

to register for an unusual option you will need to complete the existing process of gainingagreement from both your own department and that which teaches the module (if different). To dothis you should usually complete an Unusual Option Registration form (available from yourdepartment) and then ensure that both/all departments concerned complete it. The form shouldthen be handed in by you to your home department. IMPORTANT: failure to follow thisprocedure may result in younot being permittedto take the module. You should be awarethat until you have gained the agreement of both departments, your registration for anunusual option module is provisional only.

Any PART-TIME students should also use the screen below to select all their modules,since they commonly may take modules (including core modules) in variable years of study(and it is not possible, therefore, to define specific module lists for any particular year of

part-time study).

The module will then appear in the Modules section of the screen and can beselected by clicking the appropriate button, followed by clicking Submit to record your choice:

(N.B. Go Back will take you back to the Module Search screen, while Unselect will take you back tothe Select stage)
