FAQ

How do I select which modules I will study?

As of the dates above, the Online Module Selection window will open. To select your modules you will need to access the Student Records & Registration (SRS) system. You can do this via MyExeter once you have registered and activated your IT account.

Do all modules now need to be ranked?

All modules now have the option to be ranked but not all modules will need to be. Watch this video to understand more: A Guide to OMS Ranking.

Why do I need to rank which modules I want to take?

Despite the University's best efforts, we are not always able to guarantee you will receive a place on certain modules due to limited availability. To make sure we fairly allocate students based on your preferences we ask you to rank a series of modules. This will vary between disciplines, not all modules will have a ranking system in place.

Why don’t I need to rank my modules?

Some modules are flexible in nature meaning that they are not restricted in terms of student numbers. If you are not asked to rank module choices it means that these modules are not capped and therefore we do not need to receive your preferences.

How do I select a module outside my discipline?

Within the Online Module Selection system, you will notice a group of modules called ‘modularity options’. Here you will see a list of modules you are able to select outside your programme. Please note that some students will be unable to select modules this way due to their individual programmes of study.

Some modules cannot be selected through this process but are available through module change; once you have confirmed your initial selections, you will be able to apply for a change of module.  You MUST have completed your module selections before asking for a change.

What if I change my mind after selection?

You will have the opportunity to change modules. Please do not do this until you have confirmed your initial selections.

Will the Queue.it system be in place this year?

Following feedback last year the queue.it system will be in place again to help manage the volume of students all trying to access the system simultaneously and ensuing a good experience for all. You may have to wait to access the system and a screen will be displayed telling you how long you may have to wait to access the system

How do I select a Minor: Future Skills Pathway module?

You'll have the option to choose a pathway in your first year as part of Online Module Selection. We’ll guide you through the pathways available to help you tailor your degree as your ambitions take shape here.

A pathway is available if your programme has 60 credits of elective module space in total across your second and final years (also known as Stages 2 and 3). You will study 30 credits of Minor modules in each of these years. There are also other ways to personalise your degree, including a language proficiency pathway and interdisciplinary study options. Please check your course page for details specific to your programme.

Within the Online Module Selection system, you will notice a group of modules called ‘Minors: Future Skills Pathways’. Here you will see a list of minors modules you are able to select outside your programme.
