Capped units for 2026/27

This webpage contains information about capped units. These are units which have a fixed number of places available on them via SAMIS unit selection.

Before looking at the information on this page about capped units, please read our guides Choosing your units online and Help with Choosing Your Units.

About capped units

Capped units are units where there are a limited number of places available.

All units in Semester 1 (S1) and all year-long units (AY) are capped because the timetable has been published and the number of spaces is fixed to the size of the room.

If you have optional units to choose for Semester 2 (S2) these units are not capped.

If you attempt to choose a unit where no more spaces are available, you will receive an error message informing you that the unit is full. If you wish to be added to the waiting list for that unit please follow the instructions provided in the error message.

If you have chosen a capped unit as one of your optional units, but now wish to change your choices, please do not undo your choices, as you will lose your place on the capped unit. Instead, please contact Academic Registry.

Further Support

If you have further questions about capped units, you should contact Academic Registry's Registration team or speak to your Director of Studies/Director of Teaching.
