Before the commencement of each term, the University will enroll students in pre-assigned course(s) and arrange students to select self-enrolled courses during the online course selection period. This normally falls within the study week before the examinations of the previous term. The University will inform you of the enrolment arrangements through Advice on Course Selection, and details will be announced by email.
Self-enrolment for courses is on first-come-first-served basis. You are, therefore, highly recommended to self-enroll for courses through the course enrolment system during the online course selection period. If you miss the online course selection period, you can try to select any missing courses not yet self-enrolled and swap class sections during the “add/drop period”, which is the first two weeks of a term.
If you intend to retake a course with the course result “Fail”, you should submit an application during the retake application period before the term, or subsequently during the add/drop period. For details, visit the Retake Courses webpage.
If you intend to add extra courses or drop enrolled courses, you should submit an application during the add/drop period. Visit the Add Extra Courses or Drop or Withdraw from Courses webpages to find out more.
