It is possible the course you have requested is owned by a department for which you do not have access. Does the course appear on your drop-down list of courses (labelled "Select Course")? If not, then you may need to request additional access. If you are a Course Tutor or Assessment Convenor attempting to view your own courses, you can do this by going to your "Course Teaching" or "Convening" tabs. In rare cases, when a course has been set up with inconsistencies on the database, it may not be possible for Sussex Direct to determine your eligiblity when you attempt to access it by entering the Course Code.
