programme of study/modules. You can access and amend your student record or request confirmation of your student status via SIMS: https://sims.cf.ac.uk/ For more information visit https://intranet.cardiff.ac.uk/students/your-study/changes-to-your- studies/changes-to-your-personal-details Programme Information Detailed information about your programme of study is available through SIMS sims.cf.ac.uk/ . This includes information on how you will be taught and assessed, and the learning outcomes for the programme (learning outcomes set out what you should know, understand or be able to do when you have completed a learning activity or a programme of study). You will find detailed Module Descriptions in the relevant modules within Learning Central, our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). All information on degree programmes, modules and modules contents and assessment are provided in the School’s Module Catalogue. You will be provided with a copy of this Catalogue at Registration, but it can also be assessed at http://www.astro.cardiff.ac.uk/teachingandlearning/resources/catalogue.pdf Module Options Important Legal Information The University is committed to providing a wide range of module options where possible, but students should be aware that whilst every effort is made to offer choice this may be limited in certain circumstances. This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking so you must take these. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, students should seek advice from their personal tutor on the current module option choices available to them. Further information can be found in the Senate Regulation for Awards of Cardiff University (Variation of Arrangements):
Module Transfers You can only change modules in the first three weeks of a semester and you must obtain approval from the School(s) teaching the module(s) that you wish to change and you wish to add. Your Personal Tutor or another staff member in your School will be able to advise you. You can only change modules in accordance with specific regulations that relate to your programme and year.

Programme Transfers You have been admitted to study a specific programme. However, you may change to an alternative programme if the School(s) responsible for the programme you wish to leave and the programme you wish to join agree. A change of programme that includes changing modules can only be made within the first three weeks of each semester. Further details are available at the following link.
Our library sites are conveniently located close to the Academic Schools, and you are entitled to use any of the University’s libraries. Your local library is the Trevithick Library.
All libraries offer a wide range of information resources and provide networked computing, printing and photocopying facilities. LibrarySearch enables you to find and locate books and other resources held in the libraries, to see how many copies are held and whether they are available for loan. It also enables you to check when borrowed items are due back in the library and to renew any or all of the items.
In addition you can use LibrarySearch to find electronic books, journal articles and databases. All new students are offered an introduction to the library. This video offers a brief introduction to library services and facilities:
If you’d like help using library services you can phone or email your library, contact your subject librarian or use the live chat service Ask a Librarian https://intranet.cardiff.ac.uk/students/applications/view/ask-a-librarian Reading Lists Your Reading Lists are available through SIMS and Learning Central and a video is available to help you find items on your reading list using LibrarySearch
