How to enrol in a UCIL unit
When enrolment is open, and depending on your programme and School, you may need to enrol in one of the following ways:
-
Enrolment using the Course Selection System
Depending on your School and Programme, you may be able to enrol directly onto a UCIL unit using the Course Unit Enrolment System.
If you cannot see the unit you hope to study, please check 'Enrolment via your School'.
-
Enrolment via your School
If you cannot see the UCIL unit you wish to study or it is blocked out on the Course Unit Enrolment System, you may need to request approval to study it directly from your School.
When contacting your School by email, please include us (ucil@manchester.ac.uk) so we can assist if needed.
