I seem to have two units where I expect only one

To enable delivery of units where some students are studying at an undergraduate level and some are studying at a postgraduate level, the University enrols students on ARK in what are called “child units”. A child unit is specific to the level and mode of delivery that you enrolled in. To enable students in multiple levels or modes of delivery to access common resources, your unit may also have a “meta unit”.

See the Types of Units document for further explanation.
