Step 6. Swapping an optional course unit
You may change any optional units (except language units that run for two semesters) up to the end of the second week of ‘early’ semester one units and after the end of the first week for ‘late’ semester one units and semester two units. 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 enrolment reports will be sent to your Programme Directors for checking and you will be contacted if your enrolment selections are not satisfactory. Failure to swap a unit before the end of the 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 in each semester.
Semester one late unit changes
If you wish to swap a semester one late unit you will not be able to do process this yourself on the Student System. Instead you must complete a ‘Course Unit Change Form’ if you wish to make any changes. Forms can either be collected from the Student Support Office (G.483 Stopford) or downloaded from the intranet. Your Programme Director must confirm to you by email or signature on the form that he/she approves the change, and you must then take the completed form, together with email verification where relevant, to the Student Support Office by the end of week 7 so the Office can swap your unit for you.
