Course approval is the process by which the University assesses your chosen papers to ensure they align with the requirements of your selected programme.
Processing of submitted courses begins from mid-September in the year preceding enrolment. Each course of study is reviewed individually and approval timeframes vary, depending on a number of factors, including if you:
- Are enrolling for a single or double degree
- Are required to provide any additional documentation
- Are taking any Summer School papers
- Have a timetable clash
- Have applied for any papers requiring Special or Departmental Permission
- Intend to complete your qualification in the current year
At certain times of year, the volume of submitted courses may also play a part in the time taken for your course to be assessed. Approvals are processed from oldest to newest. During peak periods, we are unable to give an exact timeframe for when this process will be completed. Approvals will continue to be processed as quickly as possible.
Course approval for many programmes, such as Health Sciences undergraduate professional programmes (HSUPP), is an automated process.
Re-entering paper selection can reset (if already submitted) or halt (if not) the course approval. Any changes you manually make to your paper selection or programme of study will need to be re-submitted, which automatically puts your application to the back of the course approval queue. We recommend that you only re-submit any pending application(s) if instructed to do so. Even logging into the paper selection part of your eVision account may un-submit your paper selection from course approval.
You will be notified through eVision when your course has been approved, or if there are any changes that need to be made.
