This is an option to request a swap from your currently allocated activity to a full activity via the your timetable page. The following rules apply to Swap Requests:

• Swap Requests can only be made during Allocation Adjustment periods.
• You can only request a swap to one activity in an activity group. If you try to swap to a different activity, your existing request will be replaced.
• In order to request a swap, you must be already allocated to another activity in that activity group.
• If you move to another activity or become deallocated from the ‘from’ activity, your swap request will be cancelled/invalidated.
• If the ‘to’ or ‘from’ activity is impacted by a timetable change, your swap request will be invalidated.
• You may request a swap to an activity that clashes with another one of your activities, but you should be aware that, until the clash is cleared, the swap will fail when attempted. 
• If a swap attempt fails due to a clash, it will remain pending, but it will be moved to the end of the queue.
• In some cases, space can become available in a class without automatically processing your swap. If you have a pending swap request for an activity, but you notice that the class has space available, you should select the activity!
• Swaps are anonymous and there is no need to find a ‘partner’ for a swap. The system will handle this for you.
• You will receive no further communication about your swap unless it is successful. If you change your mind about the swap, you should log in and cancel it as soon as possible.

To request a swap:

1. Log into CAS.
2. In the Enrolments window (at the left side of the screen), click on any activity group that has the word ‘ADJUST’ next to it. A list of activities for that activity group will display. 
3. Next to any Full activities, you will see a Swap Request button:  
4. Click on the Swap Request button for the activity you want.
5. A confirmation message is displayed for the swap request. Click OK if you agree to be moved, without further confirmation, once a place becomes available.
6. After clicking ‘OK’, you will get one of two messages. 
   1. If you see the message ‘Swap Successful’, congratulations! The system has found a matching request and instantly allocated you to your requested activity.  
   2. If you receive the message ‘Your swap will be processed once a place becomes available’, your swap is now pending. 

                              This can happen if:

6. 1. 1. There is not currently a matching swap request.
      2. Something is preventing your allocation to the activity, such as a clash with another activity. i Your institution has chosen to process swap requests in batches rather than instantly.
7. Unless your swap was instantly successful, a Pending Swap Button  will appear next to the selected activity.

To cancel a pending swap:

1. Click the pending swap button.
2. Click ‘Delete’ to confirm.    
3. The swap request will no longer be valid and the ‘pending’ swap symbol is replaced with the swap symbol.

If you change your mind and don’t want to cancel the swap:

• Click on ‘Wait’ to retain the swap request.
• A pending swap symbol will still be displayed next to the full activity.

Note: the pending swap button will only appear next to a full activity. If  you can’t see the Pending Swap Button next to an activity, it means you have a pending swap request to an activity that is no longer full.
