• a link to the UCL Module Catalogue
• details of your current module selections

How to select your modules

6. Scroll up to the Useful Information container and click the Module Selection Draft Timetable link.

7. Check your draft timetable for clashes and check your module locations to ensure you have sufficient travel time betweek campuses (Fig.6)
   
   Clashes (i.e. two teaching events happening at the same time where there are no alternative event times you can attend for either module): Clashes will be outlined in red. 
   Module locations: Events at UCL East are highlighted with a dark blue, thicker border. Click on the location icon for each timetable event to view the location in google maps. We recommend you allow an hour to travel between UCL Bloomsbury and UCL East, if you have additional accessibility needs you may wish to allow longer.

8. If you have clashes or do not have sufficient time to travel between campuses, you should change your module selections, save and re- check your timetable. Your department can provide additional information to help you understand your timetable if required. 

9. When you have made all your module selections, click Submit Selections (Fig.7) and then Done to send your choices to your department for approval.
   
   Please note: If you do not click Submit Selections and then Done, your department will not be able to see your selections for approval.

10. If you see a Selections Not Valid pop-up message (Fig.8), this is likely because selection conditions have not been met. Read the details in the pop-up message and check the conditions at the top of each module container (making sure you meet each requirement) before resubmitting your selections.

11. You can request to change your optional modules after you have submitted them. Go to the My Studies tab and click the Change module button next to the optional module you want to change (Fig.9). This can be done up to 17 May 2024.
    
    If you wish to make a change after module selection closes in May, you will need to wait until module reselection opens in mid-July, or you can contact your department for their support.
