Selecting modules Note: The word module is how we refer to a subject or course in Ireland. When and how can students choose modules? Students will select their modules on arrival. They will receive an Academic Study Form at their International Information Session on 27 th January 2016. The student is required to complete this Form in full and list the modules of their choice. An example of Academic Study Form During the first two weeks of the semester (starting on Monday, 1 st February) students can attend as many classes as they want, to find out which modules they want to follow during the semester. Students are then required to submit their fully completed Academic Study Form to the International Office no later than Thursday, 11 th February 2015 at 5:00pm to confirm their module choices. After submitting the Academic Study Form to the International Office, students will be registered for their modules of choice. Once registered, students will gain access to Moodle (the Griffith College Online Learning Platform). Module registration normally takes up to three days. This procedure will also be explained in detail to the students at their International Office Information Session on Wednesday January 27 th. 5
