Purpose and Use of the Curriculum List
The Curriculum List is a guiding document to select your courses. It provides information on items to make it easier for you to search for these on the system at Step 12 of the Registration Activity Guide. The Curriculum List denotes the course code, course title, class numbers, and time/day information to enable you to build your curriculum without clashes. Most students do not need to complete the form or have it signed, as you will do it all on the system. The signature spaces have been included for cases where the department or specific programmes require the form to be used (you will be informed if you need to complete the form).
