RPg students will register for subjects at the same time as other taught programme students.

Whether an RPg student can register a subject will depend on the availability of vacancies in the subject and the approval of the Chief Supervisor. Similarly, a student can drop a subject if it is approved by the Chief Supervisor. The add/drop changes will automatically be cancelled if those changes have not yet been approved by the Chief Supervisor.

RPg students admitted from the 2018/19 cohort onwards will register/drop their subjects via the Subject Registration Function at eStudent while those admitted in or before the 2017/18 cohort will register/drop their subjects via the Research Student Portal.

Further enrolment of subjects will normally not be entertained after the add/drop period. Exceptional cases with good justification and to which the subject lecturer agrees will require the DoRPgS’ approval approval up to the end of the 4th week after the commencement of the semester.

Dropping of subjects after the add/drop period is normally not allowed. If an RPg student has a genuine need to drop a subject after the add/drop period, it will be handled as Subject Withdrawal.
