Pre-enrolment access to Moodle

Access to Moodle can now be obtained up to 6 weeks before new students start at UCL.

Once students have accepted and met the conditions of their offer, they will receive an email from UCL inviting them to pre-enrol. That means students can start engaging with pre-enrolment activities, such as orientation, inductions and pre-courses, to help them hit the ground running from their first days at university. See: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/new-students/pre-enrolment

Some staff have developed pre-enrolment Moodle courses to ensure students have the prerequisite knowledge they require to successfully complete their studies.

One example is the Pre-Maths Bridging Course for Physics & Astronomy students. Written as an interactive presentation on a Moodle page, this course helps students to prepare for their Maths subjects through quizzes and appropriate feedback.

Another example is the Math Booster Course that is currently being developed for Engineering MSc students. This Moodle course incorporates lecture notes, worked examples and quizzes. Both of these courses have been developed with funding from the UCL E-Learning Development Grants scheme.

The UCL Transitions Programme includes a Transitions Moodle course that students can access to help them prepare for university life before they get here.  It includes videos, student profiles and information about: London, study skills, budgeting, UCL Museums and collections, libraries and how to prepare for lectures and seminars.
