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 D/SRC’s 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.
