Module registration for continuing undergraduate students opens at 10:30am BST on Monday, 27 April.
Computing Services have made some changes to the module registration system so we’ve outlined everything you’ll need to know when you start selecting your modules.
PLEASE NOTE: Some students have experienced an issue with the module registration system today. Apologies to those who have experienced difficulties registering their choices.
The latest advice is to close any browsers you might have open and log in to https://student.liverpool.ac.uk/ via a new browser to complete your module registration. More information is available here > https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/csd/newsannouncements.php…
If you have been affected by this and have not been able to register for the modules you wanted today, please look out for an email tomorrow (Tuesday, 28 April) with some guidance on what to do next.
Mandatory and optional modules
You will be automatically pre-registered for required and mandatory modules for your programme, details of which will be available to view in the new online platform.
However, if you are a continuing undergraduate student, you are required to register your optional module (or subject) choices for the new academic year between Monday, 27 April at 10:30am BST and 11:59pm BST on Thursday, 7 May. The module registration system will allow you to choose a certain quota of optional credits based on your programme of studies.
Welcome to the new home of module registration
If you’ve gone through module registration before, please don’t stop reading – things are different this year.
Our Computing Services Department has built a brand-new interface with improved functionality, designed to work seamlessly on small (phone, tablet) and large (laptop, PC or Mac) screens alike. This development also sees an increase in capacity, meaning more people can conduct their module registration at the same time.
As a result, module registration will no longer take place through Liverpool Life.
The new system can be accessed by logging into the Student Intranet with your MWS username and password. From here you find clear links to the module registration portal. Alternatively, you can navigate directly to https://student.liverpool.ac.uk/moduleregistration/ and log in with your MWS username and password.
Please note – the portal will only be accessible after 10:30am BST on Monday, 27 April when registration opens.
It is important that you read through the ’academic advice’ provided at the top of the new module registration system once you have logged in. This is information provided by your department and is specific to your course.
Frequently asked questions
How will I know what to do on this new portal?
It’s very easy to navigate. For further guidance on where to go, how to log in, and how to select your modules please watch this short video:
Module Registration and COVID-19
The information within the registration portal is up to date as at the time you select your modules. Please note that due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the ability to deliver some modules during 2020/21 and/or the ability to deliver some content or assessment types within a given module may be subject to change. Please be assured that where this is the case you will be informed directly, and all reasonable steps will be taken to mitigate the effects that this may have on you. In some cases, you may be contacted by your School Office to discuss making alternative module registration arrangements.
How many modules should I choose?
At undergraduate level you need to complete 120 credits of modules in each year. That usually means that in Semester 1 you will take 60 credits and in Semester 2 you will take a further 60 credits. If your programme contains a 30-credit year-long module(s), the remainder of your credits should split equally.
I’d like some more info about a module before selecting
If you require additional information on the modules, each module title will be hyperlinked and will take you to the module details page.
This will include information on:
- Module title
- Semester
- Module credit value
- Module FHEQ level
- Module leader and other teaching staff
- Assessment type
- Module aims, learning outcomes
- Recommended texts
What if the module I want is full or closed?
In some instances, modules will have a maximum number of students who are able to register. If you are unable to register for your desired module, you will see the module greyed out and will display as ‘FULL’.
In these instances, we would recommend you select other modules and register for 120 credits and afterwards speak to your School Student Experience Office about waiting lists or availability of the module.
Where modules may have a limited number of places, we recommend students complete their module registration when the registration period opens on Monday, 27 April 2020 at 10:30am (BST).
Can I change the modules I’ve selected?
You will be able to change your modules during the registration period. If you re-enter the module selection pages, you will be able to delete and add available modules. If you wish to change your modules outside of the registration period, please speak to your School Student Experience Office.
Please be aware if you delete a module, there is no guarantee you will be able to re-select that module, should it fill up in the meantime.
I’ve got an issue I need to speak to someone about
Queries around module registration should be directed to your School Student Experience Office in the first instance. If you’re experiencing a technical issue, please let us know via servicedesk.liverpool.ac.uk so that CSD can investigate.
