Course Enrollment

The Course catalogue in your Grimoire lets you explore the School's text-based courses and register for those available to your account. You can review an offering's requirements before deciding whether it belongs in your present course of study.

Opening the catalogue

Sign in to the School website and open your Grimoire from the site header. Select Course catalogue in its navigation. You can move between the Courses and Merit Challenges sections within that catalogue.

Finding a course

Use the search and available filters to narrow the catalogue by department or academic level. The Major and Minor options help you find courses belonging to the fixed requirements for your selected specialisations. A course's place in a department does not by itself make it a requirement for your Major or Minor; the recorded course list determines that relationship.

The results show up to eight offerings at a time. When there are more results, use the page controls to continue through them. Changing your search or filters changes the result set, so check the displayed total and active filters if a course appears to be missing.

Open a course to review its description and requirements. Consider how it fits with your current workload as well as its contribution to your academic plan. Academic History shows completed work and the requirements still recorded for your course of study.

Registering and beginning study

When registration is available, use the course's registration control and wait for confirmation. The Grimoire checks whether your account meets the applicable requirements. Once registration succeeds, return to Classes and open the course to begin its lessons.

If registration is unavailable, read the explanation shown for that offering. A prerequisite, academic-level requirement, existing enrolment, or a course's availability may affect registration. Your account's active-class allowance can also limit how many courses you may take at once. Completing the required prerequisite does not replace any other condition attached to the course.

If a registration restriction prevents you from proceeding and you need guidance about your study plan, contact the Master of Studies through the School's current contact arrangements. Use the explanation displayed by the catalogue when describing the difficulty.

Merit Challenges

Choose Merit Challenges within the catalogue to explore the challenges available to you. Review the task and its merit value, then register when eligible. Open Challenges in the Grimoire's main navigation to work on an enrolled challenge and submit the required response.

Merit Challenges contribute merits under the School's challenge rules. They are distinct from academic courses and do not replace a required course merely because they concern the same subject.

Live course sections

Registration for a scheduled live course section uses the live registration system in vGSW. Follow Live Class Registration for the terminal procedure, available places, and withdrawal arrangements. Enrolling in a text-based course does not by itself reserve a place in a scheduled live section.

Changing an enrolment

You may drop an unfinished course through its Grimoire controls. Read the confirmation before accepting: dropping a course clears its assignment and test records, and registering again means starting that course over. If you expect a temporary interruption to your studies, speak with the instructor before deciding to drop the course. The participation and inactivity provisions remain those set out in Class Information.
