The action required will be clearly identified within the email and it will be sent into digitalsupport@derby.ac.uk.

Any module changes made will generally not updated on the live site until the next full site publish which runs overnight.

Modules codes

A module code should never change - in cases where a module would be changed like that the old module is retired and new one created with a new code.
