Winter Term - information for all students

If required, you can also make changes to Winter Term half-units only between 10.00am on Monday 11 January 2027 – 5.00pm on Friday 22 January 2027.

It is not possible to change full unit courses or half-unit courses that were taught in Autumn during this period.

The School's Course Selection page details the steps in selecting your courses.

For Postgraduates - Yes you are strongly recommended to enter a statement if required especially if your selected course falls outside of your regulations for your programme

As mentioned above, some departments have capped courses, which means that places on these courses will be limited. These courses are offered on a first come first served basis and as soon as the number of students registered reaches the capped number, the status of these courses will change to "full" and no one else will be able to select them.

Wait for your requests to take controlled access capped course(s) to be considered by the teaching department(s). You will be notified by email when the Department makes a decision. If the Department chooses to offer you a place then you will have to accept that offer before you will be enrolled on the course. Act quickly - offers expire after 48 hours!

Other courses do not require confirmation. 

Yes but only if you are applying for capped or controlled access courses. If you intend to use an offer to replace another course you are registered for, you must withdraw from that course before you accept the new offer, to ensure that you do not exceed the maximum number of units your programme regulations allow you to take.

Yes during the first two weeks of term, you should watch the online lectures of any courses in the School in which you are interested in so you do not miss anything. 

Any course taken outside of your programme regulations will require permission from your Academic Mentor.

Your Academic Mentor will be assigned to you during Welcome Week and details can be found on LSE for You.

Some departments allocate students to seminars, and some departments will allow students to sign themselves up to seminars. You can see which method is used for each of your registered courses in the seminar sign-up system in LSE for You.

You can use seminar sign-up once you have signed up for a course and the department responsible has made the course available for seminar sign up. 

Seminar sign-up is accessible throughout the course selection windows. If you fail to sign up for seminars during this time, the department may allocate you to a seminar group of their choice on your behalf. 

All seminars have a limit in size. Students should sign-up as soon as they have signed up for a course. If a course is oversubscribed then unfortunately you may not get in. However, please bear in mind that students have the option to drop courses before the deadline. Please check the course regularly as a space may become available.  

Absolutely, seminar sign-up is accessible throughout the course selection windows. If you fail to sign up for seminars during this time, the department may allocate you to a seminar group of their choice on your behalf. You can sign up for seminars via LSE for You.

Students who try to attend classes/seminars where they are not enrolled will be asked to leave

Your personal timetable will be available in LSE for You after you have made your course selections and they have been approved by the teaching department. You will automatically be given access to the Moodle page for your selected courses a few hours after selecting them on LSE for You.
