FAQs

  • Your pre-registration class schedule may be used as a blueprint for you to build your class schedule according to your curriculum requirements and study plan.
  • When your course grades for the previous semester are released, you might need to make adjustments to your class schedule.

  • If the course is web-enabled, simply drop the course through the web. If the course is not web-enabled, please use the electronic form under the Course Registration menu on AIMS, click Application for Add/Drop of Non-Web-enabled Course & Study Load Adjustment and provide reason(s) and supporting document(s), e.g. the approval for credit transfer/excemption obtained, for approval by the course-offering academic unit.

  • Go to the website Master Class Schedule. Click the button Show Gateway Education (GE) Courses ONLY and set all for Campus, Level, Offering Academic Unit, Subject and Session.

  • Students who wish to take a reduced study load in a semester (full-time students less than 12 credits) due to special circumstances may make an application via an electronic form available in AIMS. Please log-in AIMS, go to tab Course Registration and click Application for Add/Drop of Non-Web-enabled Course & Study Load Adjustment. Once you submit an application, it will be forwarded to your home academic unit for consideration.

  • Students who wish to increase the study load due to special circumstances may make an application via an electronic form available in AIMS.

Once you submit an application, it will be forwarded to your home academic unit for consideration.

  • Check if there is any time conflict resulting from the change. If no, you can drop the original tutorial section and add the new tutorial section at the same time when submitting the add/drop request via AIMS.
  • As the enrolment numbers are real-time dynamic data, several students may be competing for the few remaining seats at the same time. If the capacity of the course section is almost full, students are advised not to attempt to swap into those sections.

  • These courses are non-credit bearing and will not contribute to your semester's study load. For the physical education courses, pass grade or "Not Completed" will be recorded in your transcript. For the optional language courses offered by SCOPE, no grade will be recorded in your transcript.

  • This means the registration page is under a large number of accesses during the peak course registration period, especially at the commencement of each time slot. As a measure of network traffic control, it is a standard measure to restrict the number of accesses to the server to maintain the operation of the server. This will result in some users failing to log into AIMS temporarily. Please be patience and try again later.
