Registration

Law: Fast-track registration 2011

For returning students registered for the Intermediate Level of the LLB (undergraduate or postgraduate)

Who is eligible for "Fast Track" registration?

You may use this option only if:

• You are a returning LLB student proceeding to the Intermediate Level of the degree (Only students registered for the regular stream are eligible. This is a pilot program and students registered for the Academic Development Programme stream or the extended stream cannot be included at this stage.);
• Your record at the end of 2010 says "Academically eligible to continue" on PeopleSoft;
• You have already passed all Preliminary Level courses and, if in the undergraduate stream, all non-Law courses. (Students with supplementary or deferred examination results outstanding are not eligible);
• Your course choices for 2011 are straightforward and do not require concessions or advice;
• You have good computer skills and are comfortable with working with PDF files and email file attachments.
• You complete the email submission by 4pm on Friday 28 January at the latest. Please try and submit as early as possible, as it gives the student advisors time to work through the forms.

How do you fill in your curriculum form?

• You can download the front page of the form at the right hand side.
  NB: Please ensure that you download and complete the correct form - depending on whether you are in the undergraduate or postgraduate stream. There are two forms, one for the undergraduate stream (UG LLB Year 3 form) and another separate form for the postgraduate stream (PG LLB Year 2 form).
• Please note that when you load the form into Adobe there may be a few seconds of delay before the data fields are active to receive text.
• The forms are in an editable PDF format: you will need to load the form into Adobe Reader and type in your details and course choices.
• When you save the form onto your home computer to work on it, please give it a file name which includes both your name and student number.
• The 2011 Law Handbook is available in PDF format to download in the right-hand sidebar, so you can check the Intermediate Level curriculum.
• The duly completed curriculum form should be emailed to patricia.phillips@uct.ac.za, with the subject line: 2011 Fast Track Registration Form.

Who checks your curriculum choices?

• The completed curriculum form will be checked and signed by a student advisor.
• If there are any problems with your course choice, the form will not be signed, and you will have to go through the usual registration instead, on your assigned registration date. You will be informed via email if there is a problem with your form.

What happens at registration?

• You still need to come to LLB registration on your assigned day - as specified in the registration schedule.
• Stand in the separate queue for pre-approved forms.
• Collect your curriculum and registration forms.
• If your course choice is straightforward and the student advisor found no problems, you will be asked to sign your curriculum and registration forms and go straight to data capturing (you will be informed of the venue).
• If you have changed your mind about a course choice you will have to go through the usual registration process to have a new curriculum form signed by a student advisor and the Dean's Table.

Warning!

Please only try this early online registration process if you are a returning LLB student proceeding to the Intermediate Level of the degree and have passed all Preliminary Level courses (including non-Law courses, if applicable). This is a pilot process, which is why it is only open to a limited category of students. If it works we will consider widening it next year. There may also be glitches in the system - please be patient.
