Confirmation of Examination Course Structure (XIDs)

Students are automatically assigned to the mandatory modules and a range of optional modules of the degree course on which they are enrolled. Schools or course offices are responsible for ensuring that particular students' module choices for the current academic year are correctly recorded in the CMIS Timetabling System by at the beginning of Michaelmas term, and are updated as required thereafter as per information provided by the students. The onus lies on individual students to ensure that they promptly notify Schools or course offices of changes to their elective modules portfolio for which they intend to present for examination.

Every examination paper has a unique XID examination module code. In order for students to be enrolled in the correct examinations, their teaching modules must be linked to the corresponding XIDs. In some cases, the XID does not directly correlate to the teaching module code. This is because there are some teaching modules that share the same examination. In order to ensure that the students from the teaching modules are assigned to the correct exam, a dummy XID (derived from the teaching module code) must be created. The dummy XID then connects this teaching module to the actual examination.

The Office of International Student Affairs registers full-year Socrates and visiting students for the modules on the basis of information provided to that office by students.
