How do I change a module?

The University's regulations allow you to add or drop optional modules provided that you notify the Registry Office on a Module Amendment Form signed by your Course Director or Studies Adviser within the first two weeks of the semester in which the module is taught.

How do I change my course?

Any proposed change of course should be discussed with your Studies Adviser and also with the Course Director of the course to which you intend to apply. All applications for a change of course or modules of study must be made on a Student Record Amendment Form obtainable by clicking the highlighted text or from your Faculty/Campus Administrative Office.

I have lost my ID card, how can I get another one?

If you have lost your ID card, you should contact your campus Registry/General Office to obtain a replacement.  A charge of £10.00 is made for this service.

I wish to withdraw from the University, how do I go about doing so? 

This is not a step which should be taken lightly, and before doing so you should talk to your Studies Adviser or your Course Director or the counselling service. They may be able to give help and support which enables you to overcome your difficulties. It is important to remember that all students have problems, but some are more affected by them than others. Seek help early, before a problem gets out of hand.

I have changed my address/phone number, who should I inform?

If you have changed your address or phone number, you should inform your Campus Registry/General Office as soon as possible. This may be done either in writing, by phone or by calling to the office in person. We will update the central database and this will ensure that any correspondence which we send you will go to the correct address. It is also a good idea to advise your Course Director, Faculty Office and the Library of any changes, as they may keep other records which do not update from the database.

I have recently changed my name, how do I update my record?

If you change your name you should inform your campus Registry/General Office. You will be required to complete a Change of Name Form and have it signed by a witness. We will then change your records and issue you with a replacement ID card in your new name if you wish. (There is no charge for the issue of the new card). You should also advise your Course Director, Faculty Office and the Library of any such changes.

I need a letter to confirm my student status, how can I get this?

If you require a letter confirming your status as a registered student of the University of Ulster, or confirming that you have taken leave of absence or withdrawn from your course, you should contact your campus Registry/General Office. You must give at least 24 hours notice that you require such a letter, and when ready, it may be collected from the office or posted out if you so wish. Any requests for letters confirming details of awards obtained at the university should be directed to the Examinations Office at the relevant campus.

I need to take leave from my course for a period of time, how do I do this?

Leave of absence needs to be approved by your faculty and you should make arrangements to see your Studies Adviser or Course Director.

I am ready to return from leave of absence, how do I do this?

If you have been on leave of absence and are now planning to return to the university to re-commence study, you should contact your Course Director and Faculty Office to confirm this. They will advise you of the arrangements for re-enrolling and supply any relevant information about induction, course timetables etc.
