Step 5 – Swapping an optional course unit

Once your Programme Director has signed off your Course Unit Plan in Welcome Week, you may change any optional units (except field courses, and language units that run for two semesters) at the beginning of each semester (during the first two weeks).  To do this you will need to log into your Student System in the same way as you did when you completed course unit selection. Further instructions are shown below. Please note that you must ensure that you do not drop or swap any course unit that is a mandatory course unit within your programme regulations. You must ensure that any changes you make to your course unit selections still satisfy your programmes academic advisement rules. Academic advisement rules can be found at the following link: https://app.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/education/cm/academicadvisement.aspx.

Please note that enrollment reports will be sent to your Programme Directors for checking and you will be contacted if your enrollment selections are not satisfactory. Failure to swap a unit before the end of the two week course unit swap period may mean you will not be allowed to register for the examinations in the unit to which you have changed. You will not normally be allowed to transfer off or onto a unit after the end of the second week of teaching (Friday 5pm) in each semester.

Biomedical Sciences students only: please note that due to the number of mandatory units in semester two Biomedical Sciences students will not be able to make any course unit changes to units in semester two.
