Why has the procedure changed?
Course capping has helped to improve the learning and teaching environment in the Department of English, but it has also introduced new challenges. The updated procedures help students access courses more easily, support instructors in planning, and reduce administrative load. Students are expected to prepare early, choose suitable courses for their study plan, and commit for the full term. In return, they benefit from smaller classes, more instructor attention, and faster grading.
Does the prioritisation policy still apply?
No. Registration for capped courses is now first come, first served. Some MA courses are intended for advanced students, so check course details carefully.
VML students are still not permitted to take graded MA courses, except for the foundation lectures. Students must complete this form to apply to take VML.
Waiting on your BA thesis grade to enter the MA program?
BA thesis deadlines have been moved earlier to help. Still, contact your major and minor study counsellors promptly for diploma ratification, and follow Dean's Office instructions.
Accidentally registered for a course?
Contact your study counsellor immediately.
Can’t attend a course you registered for?
You will fail. Repeat absences leading to failure will be tracked.
How do I register?
Students should add the course to the appropriate block in their KSL planning view before registration opens. When registration opens, register via your KSL planning view. Watch this video to learn more.
Note: in the Department of English, we don't include the assessment within the course.
To take a seminar ungraded, just register for the seminar. To take it graded, register for the assessment and the seminar. You'll see this in the course title and the course type.
To take a lecture ungraded, just register for the ungraded lecture. To take it graded, register for the graded lecture. You'll see this in the course title.
