Course Selection: Other Departments

When your curriculum requires courses that are not hosted by your home department, the system provides a specific workflow to browse and add these units.

Step 1: Accessing External Departments

  • Within the registration interface, locate the tab or button labelled "Other Departments".

  • Clicking this will trigger the system to load the directory of all other available schools and colleges within the university.

    Step 2: Navigating the School List

    • A list of constituent schools (such as Babcock Business School, School of Computing, or Engineering) will appear in a grid or table format.

    • To find the specific department you are looking for, you may need to scroll through multiple pages.

      Step 3: Using Pagination to Browse

      • Look for the navigation controls at the bottom of the data table (highlighted in the interface).

      • Use the "Next" button (often represented by a > or arrow icon) to move to the subsequent page of schools.

      • You can also adjust the "View" setting (e.g., changing from 15 to 30) to see more departments on a single screen, reducing the need to click "Next" repeatedly.

      Step 4: Selecting the Target Department

      • Once you locate the correct school, click on the highlighted School Code or Name (e.g., clicking CES for the School of Computing).

      • The system will then display the specific courses available for registration within that external department for the current semester.
