Permission codes

Some courses are restricted to ensure students meet specific requirements before enrolling or because there are a limited number of places available in the course and may have a separate application process. This prevents you from being able to add the course on ISIS without entering a permission code.
 

Specific requirements

If there are specific requirements to enrol in a course, these will be detailed in the "Requisite and Incompatibility" section of the course page on :
  • If you meet the specific requirements listed, you should be able to enrol yourself on .  
  • If you don't meet the specific requirements listed but believe you fulfil them in another way (e.g. equivalent prior study or professional experience) you will need to request a permission code to enrol. 

​

Enrolling in the course
