Pre Registration
Important Information for Pre Registration 2024/2025
Please read the following notes carefully before proceeding
General Information
1. All students who will be continuing with their studies in 2024/2025 are required to pre register their module choices.
NB. The following groups of students will not be required to complete the pre registration process as their modules will automatically be approved:
• Students embarking on a Sandwich/Abroad placement which is an integral part of their degree.
• Students who have core modules totalling 120 credits.
2. You can access details of your study scheme and core modules for 2024/2025 from your Student Record on the web. It is essential that you follow the instructions for your department(s) as individual departmental requirements vary.
3. The Pre Registration period will be split into two sections, a Consultation Period which lasts from Monday 15 April to Wednesday 17 April when you will have access to view next session’s data on your Student Record, but will be unable to enter your module choices. Your record will then be unlocked on Thursday 18 April until Friday 26 April to allow you to enter your module choices following discussions with your department(s).
4. You should ensure you consult the Study Schemes and Modules information on the web in order that you meet departmental requirements and register for the relevant modules.
5. You should check the departmental requirements for Pre Registration, ensuring you attend any meetings before entering your module choices for next session directly on to your Student Record.
6. You are required to ensure the total number of credits entered on your record does not exceed the number you are required to study. The following checks are in place:
• You will not be able to remove any core modules from your record. If there are special circumstances which mean you will not be pursuing a core module next session you should contact your department.
• You will not be able to input modules you have previously taken.
• You should not have more than a 70:50/50:70 credit split between semesters.
• If you enter a module in the wrong semester it will automatically be moved to the correct one.
• The system will only allow you to enter the number of credits you are required to pursue next session.
7. You must ensure you have entered all your choices by FRIDAY 26 APRIL at the latest. Once your department(s) have confirmed your choices you will receive an email to confirm this has been done and you will be able to view your modules on your Student Record on the web under session 2024/2025.
Students who wish to Change Study Scheme.
8. If you wish to change your study scheme next session you should complete the Online Change of Registration process from your Student Record on the web as soon as possible and before you enter your module choices for next session. Your Online Change of Registration MUST be approved and processed before you can continue with Pre Registration. To request a Change of Registration you need to log on to your Student Record on the web, then click on the Academic Record link at the top of your home page, and from the list of links in the drop down menu click on 'Change Registration'.
9. It is imperative you inform your Student Loan Company and Local Authority as soon as the change has been approved to ensure the smooth transfer of your loan and award (if you receive any) before the beginning of next session.
Students taking a Year Out.
10. Students embarking on a Sandwich/Abroad placement next session will see there are already modules totalling 120 credits on your record. The modules which will be recorded for you will show that you are on placement and will be classified as a full time student. Your modules will automatically be approved, however it is important that you complete Online Registration in September to confirm that you are embarking on your placement. You will be able to register online via your Student Record from outside the University intranet in September.
11. If you propose to go on a Year in Employment (YES placement) next session you should click on the appropriate option from the drop down menu to indicate your intentions.
12. If you propose to go on an Exchange placement next session you should click on the appropriate option from the drop down menu to indicate your intentions. If you are only going out for one semester you should only enter 60 credits in the semester when you will be in Aberystwyth.
13. Students wishing to interrupt their studies, e.g. on personal or medical grounds, should consult with their department(s) and the Director of Student Support Services before completing the online Withdrawal process from the Student Record.
