**********
REGISTRATION RULES
1. You can choose up to four Diploma Level modules in one year. You can
choose up to three Degree Level modules in one year.
2. Please note, pre-requisite modules are bracketed e.g. C2 (C1). The prerequisite module for C2 is C1. The bracketed module must be successfully
completed in order to be eligible to register for the module. If an exemption
has been granted for the pre-requisite module then it does not have to be
completed. (Exemption is applicable to Diploma level modules only).
3. Please bear in mind that two of the Level 1 modules, MS001 and CT1,
require a competence in Mathematics. (If your background in mathematics
is weak, it is recommended that you undertake the MS001 module before
attempting the CT1 module.)
4. Only in the case where Direct Entry has been granted will a student be
allowed to register for Degree Level modules without first successfully
completing the 4 modules at Level 1, i.e. MS001, CT1, C1 and HS1 must be
completed (or exempted) before a student can register for any Degree Level
module.
5. Only in the case where Direct Entry has been granted will a student be
allowed to register for Degree Level modules without first successfully
completing the relevant Level 2 Modules e.g. C2 must have been
successfully completed before either CA or CB can be undertaken.
6. To the extent possible it is recommended you take a mix of modules
between those with continuous assessment only (i.e. no examinations) and
those with both continuous assessment and examinations in one year. For
example you should try to avoid taking MS00B and HSA together as it is

not recommended to undertake these two modules in the same academic
year.
7. There is a mandatory Introductory Workshop for the MS00B module.
This Introductory Workshop will take place on Saturday 3rd October from
13.45 to 16.45 in DCU. Attendance at this workshop is mandatory. You
should not undertake this module if you cannot attend this workshop.
8. There is a mandatory Introductory Workshop for the HSA module. This
Introductory Workshop will take place on Saturday 3rd October from
10.15 to 13.15 in DCU. Attendance at this workshop is mandatory. You
should not undertake this module if you cannot attend this workshop.
9. Students must have regular access to a good quality Computer (loaded
with Microsoft Office) and a good quality broadband Internet connection.
The web browser a student uses must be able to play Macromedia Flash,
Shockwave, Java and the Adobe Acrobat PDF file reader. In order to
facilitate online communication in live, virtual classrooms students should
have a high quality headset/microphone (built in microphones and speakers
in laptops are not sufficient) and a webcam. It is expected that students will
have a computer competency level equivalent to the European Computer
Driving Licence (EDCL) (http://www.ecdl.com/). Students must be familiar
with using email, browsing the Internet, and using the Microsoft word
processing package. The University cannot take responsibility for whether,
or to what extent, a particular learning material is accessible on a particular
device in a particular instance. In particular the University cannot take
responsibility for learning material hosted by a third party, for example a
video hosted on an external website. Students with Apple-Mac computers
may encounter specific issues as learning materials and software are
typically designed on/for the Windows operating system. Where students
are provided with software, for example SPSS, it will be for Windows
Computers. Apple-Mac versions of software will not be provided.
