Welcome

The University Certificate in Academic Practice (UCAP) is the shorter 20-credit alternative to the PGCAP primarily for part-time or sessional academics and professional services staff who teach or support learning, providing a foundation to academic practice in higher education as a standalone award.

It comprises the first module of the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) and is taught together with PGCAP participants.

Getting started

Registration

Once you have completed the application process you will receive further information from us regarding how to complete your registration and how to set up your computing account.

Registration generally opens several weeks before the course start date. You can only register once you have received an email titled: "Invitation to online registration". You will not be able to register earlier, so please check your emails regularly.

If you are a non-UK national you will be invited, by e-mail, to book a right to study check with our compliance team as part of the registration process.

Please ensure that you action any emails as soon as you receive these - we recommend that you regularly check your junk folder as these emails may be directed there.

Without completing your registration and creating your computing account you will not be able to access our Virtual Learning Environment, Blackboard, which is essential to your participation in the course.

You will be eligible to receive your Student ID card once you have completed your online registration.

Your Must Do Tasks

Once you have been invited to register for your course, there are some key tasks you'll need to complete to make sure you are ready to become a CCCU student.

Registration invitations are sent towards the end of August. We'll send yours to the email address you used when you applied, so please check this inbox regularly to make sure you don't miss any important information.
