Induction
Status of Modules - Induction October 2012
The courses for the 2012/13 session start during the week beginning 15th October 2012. As enrolment progresses we will provide information here about the status of each module.
All module materials will be delivered electronically via Elearn (i.e. there will not be a posting via standard mail). Students will receive an email on the start date of the module with details of how to access the materials.
Important: Prior to the start date, you will not be able to see any modules when you log into Elearn. You will be sent an email once access to your module has been given to you.
The table below summarises the expected and actual dates when access will be given to the various modules. It will be updated regularly throughout the induction period.
Apologies: we are running about 24 hours behind on giving access to Elearn.
