Changing Elective Modules

Elective Module Choice Change Requests for 2023/24
You will be able to submit requests to change your elective choice module for 2023/24 for semester 2 delivery from: 9.00 am on Monday 11^th December 2023

If you have elective modules as part of your course, you will be asked to select which modules you would like to study through the Universities Module Choice Process. The timing of when you are asked to select your modules will vary depending on when the module choice process is available for your level of study.  Once you have selected your elective module/s they will be attached to your student record and teaching sessions will be added to your timetable.

Can I change my Elective Module?

At the beginning of each semester students can opt to request to change their elective choice module for the following reasons:

• Career change
• Registered Carer with the Inclusive Support Team
• Registered Elite Athlete on recognised University Programme
• Changed mind since joining the course and feel that the wrong module was originally selected
• Circumstances linked to Learning Contract, you will need to provide further information regarding your circumstances
   

Even if your circumstances meet the criteria for requesting a change, we cannot guarantee your request will be processed, as moving to the new elective module may create clashes with sessions you are already timetabled to attend or there may not be space to accommodate additional students in the new elective module.

If you wish to request a change to your current elective module, please complete the elective module choice change request form by clicking on the relevant department link below. 

If you wish to change more than one elective module, a separate request MUST be made for each elective module choice change.

For standard Undergraduate and Postgraduate teaching all requests should be submitted before the Thursday of the 2nd week of teaching to ensure that you do not miss too much teaching with the new group.

The deadline for students to submit requests is:
Wednesday 31st January 2024 at 11.59pm for modules taught during semester 2, and the form will be deactivated.

Please note: any requests received after the deadline date will be declined.

If your course is not taught over the standard university teaching weeks, please contact Hallam Help for advice on who to speak to request a change. Their contact details can be found at the bottom of this page.

The outcome of this request will be sent to your SHU email account.
