* You can register modules under these categories in stage 1 only if they are prescribed in your suggested study plan of this semester by your Programme Office. Please seek advice from your Programme Office if in doubt.

The list of modules of Semester 1, 2024-25 is released on the Module Planner. Please note that some year 1 module quotas will be reserved for year 1 students. The unused quotas will be released to all students during the Clearance Round and Module Add/drop Period. To facilitate your selection of modules, all module outlines can be found on the Module Outline Database.

Please refer to the recommended study plan sent by your Programme Office and note the following when you prepare for the module registration:

(a) The module registration is conducted in a ‘Free Form’ manner, enabling you to select your preferred modules in the system as long as the modules are prescribed in your curriculum. Availability of places of a module is subject to the quotas set by the module offering departments on a first-come-first-served basis.

(b) It is the deployment plans of the offering departments/schools that determine the number of modules and sessions to be offered according to their staff strength and the estimated student demands indicated by all programme offices. The supply of some popular modules may not be enough to meet all students’ demand. But please be rest assured that NO students, who are due for graduation after completion of this semester, would be affected by insufficient places in core or elective modules. Please approach your Programme Office for assistance if necessary.

(c) Some modules are offered in both semesters and students from different programmes are designated to register them in a specific semester. Therefore, you will have no priority in registering some of your major core or major elective modules in stage 1 if they are not prescribed in your suggested study plan for this semester by your Programme Office. Please seek advices from your Programme Office if in doubt.

(d) Your Programme Office should have reserved sufficient places of stage 1 modules for you to register. However, if you do not register them at the assigned time on the first day of module registration, you may run the risk of not being able to register them later as your place will be made available to students of the next year/stage immediately.

(e) For modules offering to junior year students in stage 1, senior year students of the same programme may also register them in stage 1.

(f) Students may retake a module that they have passed with a grade “C” or below but priority will be given to first-timer and retake students can only register for those passed modules during the Module Add/drop period.

(g) Please observe the following arrangements of GE modules:

Once a GE module is listed as a major core/major elective of an individual programme, the students of that specific programme are restricted from taking that module to fulfil the GE requirement.

GE modules, including those offered by the School of Business, should only serve the purpose of fulfilling GE requirements, instead of fulfilling other requirements such as business elective.

(h) Some modules may be cancelled due to under-enrolment. Students who have registered these under-enrolled modules will receive notification form the Registry via email on or before 29 August 2024.
