  4. Remember the LPU selection exercise dates and mark it in your calendar. If you miss the selection, you will be assigned to a LPU with remaining vacancies.
  5. You will be able to see and select the Elective LPUs offered.

  8. If you have any doubts on LPU matters, please speak to your personal mentor, course manager or School LPU representative.
  9. In the event if any learning unit group is undersubscribed (i.e., too few students to start a class), you may be advised to switch to another learning unit group or be requested to select another available learning unit.
