Students, you are responsible for ensuring that you select the correct modules. The Institution will not be held responsible for any incorrect module choices you make. Please contact our helpdesk team at helpdesk@cornerstone.ac.za, to request assistance with your module selection.

Module amendments can only be made during the Institution’s module amendment period. Modules  can only be amended during the first two weeks after the Semester has commenced. Students, please ensure that you select your correct modules at registration. 

Part-time students need to register for 60 to 80 credits per year. Full-time students need to register for approximately 120 to 130 credits per year.

To help you plan your studies, be aware that each credit takes 10 hours of work. So if a module is worth 12 credits, it will take 120 hours to complete, including lectures, readings, research, assignments, etc. If you are not working full-time and dedicating your time to your studies, a full academic load for the year is 120 to 130 credits. If you are working full-time, you might struggle to take more than 60 to 70 credits in a year.

Once your registration is  processed, you will receive proof of registration. Please check your proof of registration to ensure that you have registered for the correct modules, and that your Semester modules appear on Funda. Once your modules are available on Funda, please check that your modules correspond with your proof of registration.
