Enrolment

Enrolment is the process for selecting courses and classes, in line with your Plan requirements, which will suit your curriculum and fit your timetable. For most students enrolment is completed online through MyCampus.

The tabs within this section will give you all the basic information you need to know about how to enrol.


Guidance

Colleges and Schools have provided further guidance, where there is additional or specific information relating to your program of study. To see this information please select from the links below.

 

If you are not sure which link to select you can search by programme (plan):

 

Prerequisites

When enroling on courses you may find that some courses require specific pre-University qualifications e.g. Highers, A-Levels, HND/Cs or successful completion of University courses as pre-requisites.

You will not be able to enrol on these courses in MyCampus until your results have been received by the University and processed in MyCampus. Please proceed to enrol in your other course choices and return to complete enrolment on these courses once you have received your results.

If you have received your results or if you have equivalent qualifications from another institution and you see a message stating you do not meet the pre-requisites, you can check the Requirements of Entry as follows:

  • select the course from your list of courses
  • scroll past Course Schedule to Course Detail
  • view Requirements of Entry.

Watch the how-to video: Enrolment - prerequisites

If you think you do meet the requirements or have any other queries about enrolment please log a support request.

Please note that you will not be able to enrol in classes until you have completed academic registration.

Exceptions

Most students will use MyCampus self-service to enrol in all or some of their courses and classes (lectures, tutorials, seminars, labs) at the beginning of each year, making selections, in line with the requirements of their Plan (see Self-service guide).

The exceptions to this are on programs and plans where the curriculum is fixed and staff in your College or School will enrol you in the relevant courses and classes. This applies in the following cases:

  • Bachelor of Veterinary medicine and Surgery (BVMS) - except years 1 and 5
  • MSci/BSc in Veterinary Biosciences - except year 1
  • BEd (Music)
  • BEng and MEng years 1 & 2 (compulsory courses only – use self-service for options)
  • Product Design Engineering – years 1, 2 and 3
  • SIT: Computing Science
  • SIT: all Engineering except option courses in Year 4 Mechanical Design Engineering, where self-service will be used
  • UESTC: Engineering

You will be able to see all your classes in your timetable once enrolment is completed.

How to enrol in Courses using self-service

It is your responsibility to:

  • choose suitable courses
  • ensure you enrol in the correct number of credits for the year
  • select courses for the whole year, not just the first semester.

You will use ‘My Requirements’ to select courses according to your degree plan and program, so, if your plan is incorrect or if you wish to change the direction of your future studies you must contact your Adviser of Studies to change it before you enrol.

‘My Requirements’ describes:

  • the overall course, grade and credit requirements
  • any compulsory courses which you must enrol on
  • the optional courses available.

As you select your courses and classes you will see how these fit into your timetable in ‘My Choices’. This will help you to identify potential timetable clashes before enrolling. You can also use the “check suitability” button in ‘My Choices’ which checks your class selections against your timetable and any course pre- or co-requisites, allowing you to make adjustments before completing enrollment.

Don’t forget: click ‘view all’ to see all the class options (days and times) available, especially for tutorial and lab sessions.

Once you have checked that your classes are correct and fit your timetable you can confirm your selections and click ‘Enrol’ to complete your enrolments.

Places in classes are usually available on a first-come-first-served basis so early enrolment is recommended.

  • Until the 4 October 2013 you can do this through self-service using one of the options described below, providing there are still places available in the alternative course or class.
  • After this date you will need to speak to your Adviser who will make the change for you if this is agreed.

Switch Class Sections

You can switch class sections (eg tutorial, lab, seminar) if your timetable will permit. This will mean changing the day or time of your class section.

To make these changes go to:

MyGlasgow > MyCampus > My Enrolments and select Switch a Class

Watch the how-to video: Enrolment - switch a class

Drop Courses

After you have enrolled you are still able to drop a course/s and select another option. Remember, you must be enrolled for the correct number of credits for the year, so if you drop a course you should then enroll on an alternative course.

To make this change go to:

MyGlasgow > MyCampus > My Enrolments and select Drop Courses

Watch the how-to video: Enrolment - drop a course
