Wednesday 26^th September Enrolment is an on-line task which must be completed AFTER you have met with your personal tutor to discuss your module selections. To access the on-line task log on to SIMS online using the log in details that have been issued to you. You will be asked to confirm your programme of study and select your modules. You can do the online task remotely using your own computer or use a University computer.  The SOCSI computer lab (Room 0.88) will be open from 9.00am to 4.00pm on Wednesday 26^th September for students to use.  Staff will be available in the SOCSI computer lab/SOCSI Undergraduate Office if students require help or get into any difficulty with the online task.

You will need to ensure the relevant school has signed the form you will be given.  The form needs to be returned to your ‘Home’ school.
