Underlying principles:
Each subject involves a set of modules, some compulsory, some optional. A student requesting to take modules at (i) or (ii) below is required to have the permission of the head(s) of department. Care should be taken in making an application that sufficient credits can be earned in the relevant subjects to be awarded a Single Major, Double Major, Major/Minor, as appropriate.
(i) Take an additional module(s) over and above the normal total credit value of the subject and/or programme: If the student is taking an additional module(s) over and above the credit total for their subject, the new module(s) will contribute to the subject mark and the annual mark during the grading process. Note that all modules registered to within the subject must be passed in order to pass the subject. Registering to an additional module is not in lieu of a module already registered for. No more than 10 additional credits can be taken, subject to an overall limit of 70 credits in any academic year and 35 in any semester.
(ii) Substitute a module not part of the subject for a module that is normally part of the subject: If the student is substituting a module(s) from outside their programme, the new module(s) will contribute to the annual mark but will not contribute to the subject mark during the grading process, unless specifically requested by the Head of Department. Normally the new module will be linked to a standalone, non-progression subject (displaying on Workbench as subject ‘SISUB’). No more than 10 credits can be substituted in any academic year and no more than 5 credits in any semester.
(iii) Additional modules outside the normal programme: An additional module registration is used when a student takes additional credits outside their primary qualification. In such cases, the additional module is included in the student’s record, displays on an academic transcript but does not contribute to the primary qualification’s annual result. This is referred to in Registry as an LCO registration. Modules registered as LCOs cannot be later substituted into the primary programme registration. There is a fee for this type of registration; students should contact the Fees & Grants Office for details.
