If an RPg student wishes to make any changes to the subject(s) in which he/she has enrolled, he/she may do so during the add/drop period, i.e., the week before and the week after the commencement of a semester.

Whether an RPg student can add a subject will depend on the availability of vacancies in the subject and the approval of the Chief Supervisor. Similarly, an RPg student can drop a subject if it is approved by the Chief Supervisor. 

During the add/drop period, RPg students admitted from the 2018/19 cohort onwards will perform add/drop changes via the Subject Registration Function at eStudent at the same time as other students while RPg students admitted in or before the 2017/18 cohort will perform add/drop changes via the Research Student Portal. An RPg student’s add/drop changes will automatically be cancelled if those changes have not yet been approved by the Chief Supervisor.

Further enrolment of subjects will normally not be entertained after the add/drop period. Exceptional cases with good justification and to which the subject lecturer agrees will require the D/SRC’s approval up to the end of the 4th week after the commencement of the semester.

Dropping of subjects after the add/drop period is normally not allowed. If an RPg student has a genuine need to drop a subject after the add/drop period, it will be handled as Withdrawal from Subjects.
