    GENERAL INFORMATION ON MODULE REGISTRATION

    • Timeline of making your module selection

      • The module registration task will open in MySIS on Monday 17 March 2025.
      • Students have until Monday 14 April 2025 to submit their selection.
      • The STA Education team will process module selections in early May.


      Before submitting your selections on MySIS:

      • Read the relevant Programme Requirements - listed in the relevant section below - as it includes details on compulsory and elective modules.
      • Consult the QM Module Directory  to check which modules will be running in 2025-26 and to obtain a rough idea of the subject areas (for reference only). As the Module Directory is only available from 17 March, we have created a list of modules we are planning to run in 2025/26 - available here.
      • Attend the Module Fair on Wednesday 26 March 2025. Details, including the schedule will be shared nearer the time.

      • Discuss your module selection with your Advisor (recommended).

      Things to consider:

      • Please take your time when making module selections to check all the resources and guidance made available to you, while keeping in mind the deadline set to complete your module registration or request module changes.
      • All students are required to take 120 credits in an academic year, it is not possible to take less or more credits.
      • Pay attention to the semester balance of modules. 60-60 balance is ideal. A 75-45 split might be accepted exceptionally, but you will have an unbalanced workload. A 45-75 split is not advised and will not be accepted. 
      • Please check that you meet the pre-requisites of the modules you have selected. This information is available in the QM Module Directory.
      • Please note that if you’ve already taken a module with the exact same name but at a different level or with a different code, you will not be able to take it again.
      • Should you wish to take modules from outside of STA, please be aware that many modules that appear in the selection pot on MySIS will not be suitable for you and will not be approved by the School offering the module.

      How To Submit:

      • Use the Step-by-Step Guidance with Screenshots  prepared by Student Records.
      • If you cannot access the Module Registration task in MySIS or you receive an error message when attempting to submit your choices in MySIS, please contact the STA Education Team (Email: sta-education@qmul.ac.uk and we will look into the issue for you ASAP.
      • Once you submit your main selection of modules, you will be required to submit reserve choices and you MUST choose these modules within STA unless you are on a joint-honours programme with a subject outside of STA. Please consider those carefully and ensure they are modules you would be happy to take and cover both Semesters.
      • After you submit your selections, your module registration status will change to ENT (Entered) and you will not be able to amend them until we either approve (status CON) or reject (status REJ) the whole submission. If you change your mind while your status is still ENT, email sta-education@qmul.ac.uk and we will reject your submission so you can resubmit. 
      • Once your initial module registration has been completed, you will have further opportunities to change your optional modules in September (depending on availability).

      What happens next:

      • Following your submission, the STA Education Team will check that ALL of your module choices meet your Programme Requirements and pre-requisites, and make any necessary substitutions.
      • We will make every effort to allocate you to your first-choice modules or a comparable reserve choice, but if we are unable to place you on either, we will have to allocate you to any available STA module that meets your programme requirements.

      • Common reasons for rejection include not meeting pre-requisites, having previously taken the same module, rejection of modules by other Schools, semester imbalance,  availability.

      • Please note that availability of modules can change at any time and the School reserves the right to withdraw a module even if your module registration has previously been approved. 

      • If a module is oversubscribed, priority will be given to students on the relevant degree programme.


      If you have any questions about the module registration process, please contact your Academic Advisor, or contact the STA Education Team (Email: sta-education@qmul.ac.uk).

    GUIDANCE ON SUBMITTING YOUR MODULE CHOICE ON MYSIS

    • Use the ‘Module Registration’ menu in MySIS to submit your module selection. 
    • Check your programme regulations and prepare your module selection before completing the task on MySIS.
    • Your compulsory modules are already pre-selected, please do not select them again as your elective modules. 
    • You will be selecting modules from different pots, which are essentially tailored lists of available modules based on programme regulations (see step-by-step section for screenshots).
    • If a module you want to take does not appear, try searching for it in a different pot.
    • You do not have to select your first-choice modules from every pot; follow the guidelines in the programme regulations. 
    • If you’ve already taken a module with the exact same name but at a different level or under a different code, you will not be able to take it again.
    • After completing your main module selection, you will proceed to the reserve module selection screen, where you will need to choose the required number of reserve modules to complete the submission.
    • For your reserve options, you will be asked to select 30 or 45 credits of modules from every pot, to maximise the number of reserves you can provide, even if you didn’t use those pots in the main selection. 
    • Only choose reserve choices from the School of the Arts, unless you are on a joint-honours programme with another School. Make sure you provide reserve modules from both Semesters.

    STEP-BY-STEP MYSIS TASK GUIDE WITH SCREENSHOTS

    Please follow the step-by-step guide below to submit your module choices.

    If you encounter difficulties at any stage of the process, please check our troubleshooting section.

    1. In MySIS top bar/menu, select 'Module Registration' to access the Module Registration task. To start the selection process, click 'I want to select/change my modules or add/view comments'.



    2. Your core and compulsory modules are already pre-selected, you only need to select the required number of elective modules, so that the total number of all credits is 120. In the example below, 15 credits of compulsory modules are already pre-selected, so only 105 credits of elective modules should be selected. Keep an eye on the elective credit tally circled blue.



    3. You need to select an appropriate number of credits from various pots which correspond to your programme requirements. You do not have to select elective modules from every pot, only from those that have a set minimum, but pay attention to the total number of credits you must choose. Note that some modules, particularly those belonging to your degree programme level, are available in several pots.



    4. To search for your preferred modules, click on 'View List' for a particular pot to reveal the search box. We recommend that you use this search box by typing in the module code and pressing enter. The module will appear below the box ready to be added.




    5. Once you find your chosen module, add it to the main module selection by clicking the 'Add' button. The module will appear in the 'Selected Modules' section. If you change your mind about the module, click on the bin icon to remove it and select an alternative.



    6. Once you are happy with your main selection of elective modules click the Submit Selections button. If the submission is correct/valid, you will proceed to the next screen where you will be asked to select reserve options.



    7. The reserve module screen displays your main selection of modules, and asks you to select some reserve options, in case we are unable to allocate you to your main modules. You must submit exactly the required number of reserve module credits from each pot in order to be able to complete your submission. Please select a good balance of modules from both Semesters, and choose modules from SLLF only.


    8. To search for the reserve modules you wish to select, start typing the module code in the search bar to narrow down the list, then click on the desired module to confirm the selection. Repeat the process for the next reserve module(s), then move on to the next pot until you complete all the pots.


    9. Once you have selected all the necessary reserve options, you have the option to finalise your selection of main and reserve modules by clicking the 'Submit' button. This will close the module registration task and you will no longer be able to make any changes until the selection is either approved or rejected.

    Alternatively, if you need to make a change to your main selection of modules, you can still return to the main selections screen at this point, but be aware that this will clear all your previous selections and you will need to start the process again.


    10. The confirmation screen of the completed submission will display your main module selection and your reserve choices.
