What to doEach department has a table in a clearly marked lecture theatre, andyou should make your way to that of your major department to collectyour enrolment form. One of the departmental academic adviserswill discuss with you your proposed choice of Part I subjects and ifapproved, enter them on your enrolment form. If you were admittedto a combined major degree scheme you should then visit the tableof the other department concerned.Following that, you can then repeat the process with the other twodepartments whose courses you wish to study at Part I. If you aredoing a combined major scheme, obviously you will only visit onefurther table after your two major departments. For combinedmajors in three subjects, visit the three tables for the departmentsconcerned.

Make sure that you are enrolled for three Part I subjects and hand inyour enrolment form for checking by Student Registry staff.If you are advised to change the selection of subjects originallyapproved by your major department, you must go back to thatdepartment and get their approval for the change of Part I subject,which must then be entered on the enrolment form.
