Changing modules and addressing module enrolment issues

Find ot how to make a change to your modules or address an issue with module enrolment.

Make a change to your module choices

If you want to make a change while online module enrolment is open you can do this through Student Services.

If online module enrolment is closed you need to make your change using the change of module form.

Changes need to be approved by the schools of the old and new module choices as well as the school for your course. If all schools agree then the change can be made.

How to change your modules if you are an incoming study abroad student

You should contact your study abroad coordinator in your school to make changes to your course modules.

Reasons used by schools to make a decision about your module change

A number of reasons are used to make a decision on if you can change your module choice. These include:

your attendance record
if the change is within your course rules
any pre-requisites or co-requisites for your new module choice
the capacity and availability of the new module choice
your timetable.

When you can't make changes to your module

Many schools don't accept module changes after the second week of teaching in the semester. If you want to enrol on a module after this you need to:

check the deadlines for the school the module is in
check with your school.

You can't make changes to most modules after the fourth week of teaching unless there are exceptional circumstances. You have to pay a £50 fee.

If you want to make major changes to your modules

For major changes to your modules or if it means you need to change your course you need to contact your the school your current course is in. They will ask a committee if the change can be made.

If you will miss a large amount of teaching you may have to withdraw for the rest of the session and join your new course at a convenient point in the next session.

You may need to complete a leavers form which may impact your student loan and any grants and fees for sponsored students.

What to do if you don't get your first choice module

Some modules fill up very quickly which means you may not get your first choice. You can still try to get your first choice by:

checking regularly in case people change their minds and a place becomes available
contacting the school to join their waiting list
checking when discovery modules are released in case people change their choices.

If you have a problem with module enrolment

If you have an issue trying to access online module enrolment you should check the dates and times of online enrolment in case you have the wrong date.

If you see a message saying you are not a student in this term you need to contact the school your course is in so they can update your record.

If you have an issue navigating online module enrolment you can read the module enrolment guide (PDF).

The online module enrolment system can be slow at peak times. It may take time for the page to open. If you get an error saying 'online enrolment is currently experiencing high demand', you need to refresh your browser and confirm form resubmission.

Email the enrolment team about technical issues

Email the enrolment team at enrolment@adm.leeds.ac.uk if you have technical issues with the module enrolment system.

When you send the email you need to make sure you:

use your University email address
include your student ID
send screenshots and error messages.

Ignore credit error messages

You may need to do a minimum and maximum amount of credits for some courses. When you enrol you may be able to choose between a 10-credit or 15-credit optional module which may enrol you for 120 or 125 credits.

The enrolment system only recognises the maximum figure so it gives you an error if you don't choose the maximum. You can ignore this error message and continue if you meet the minimum requirement for your course.
