Course Sign-Up Clinics
The Faculties will be holding Course Sign-Up Clinics where you can drop in and sit with Faculty staff to help you orientate yourselves through the system, and also ask about programme structures.
The Course Sign-Up Clinics will be held at the following venues/times:
Tuesday 19th March - Room E35 - 9am-1pm
Friday 22nd March - Room - E36 - 12-4pm
Tuesday 16th April - Room E35 - 9am-1pm
Friday 19th April - E36 - 12-4pm
Please also feel free to contact your Student Support Officer if you have any queries - contact details for are above.
You should sign up within this allotted period (18th March - 19th April) for the following reasons:
· Academic staff are making themselves available now to advise students on their proposed choices; in the summer months their availability is limited due to their research commitments.
· The choices made by students in this period will influence the 2013-14 timetable. Thus student choices now will limit the number of timetable clashes at the start of the September 2013 Term.
· The early sign-up will all also influence which courses can be confirmed as running in 2013-14.
