Elective Module
An elective is an optional module chosen by the student. Within
some courses of study, the elective module(s) may be narrowed to
a certain set.
Students are advised to liaise with their respective Schools as it
relates to electives.
Understanding your Module Selection
Students will be allowed to select a ‘
Main Activity’
for a
particular module. An activity is the delivery pattern of the
particular module, that is, if the module is delivered by a lecture,
tutorial, practical/lab, etc. In most instances, the ‘main activity’ is
the lecture. The exceptions are where the module is delivered as
tutorials or as practicals.
Note: After you have selected your Main Activity the system will
automatically assign you to other associated activities (tutorials,
labs, etc).
Module Occurrence (OCC)
Each event or class time has occurrences. The occurrences are
very important in the module selection process. The occurrences
are indicated by three characters:
1. 1. The first character represents the location (campus) where
the module is being taught
2. The second character refers to the different time period within
1. a day
