Step 1: Enrol in your subjects

Once you have decided on which subjects you would like to take, you will need to enrol in them online.

Enrolling in a subject means you are officially registered to study and be assessed for a particular subject, where you are liable for its tuition fees.

Enrol in your subjects online

You can enrol in subjects using the Study Plan, a tool that you will use throughout your degree to plan, enrol, and change your subjects. It reflects the structure of your course and includes your major, minor, specialisation, and subject options.

Watch the video below to learn how to use your Study Plan.

For start-year commencing students, you should enrol in all of your subjects for both Semester 1 and Semester 2.

For more information on how to use the Study Plan and enrol, visit enrolling in subjects.

Subject prerequisites

Some subjects may have prerequisites, which may prevent you from enrolling in them. This means that they have a ‘prior study’ condition attached to them. For each subject that you plan to take, check that you have already met (or you are on track to meeting) its prerequisites so that you can enrol in them.

Subject delivery

All of our undergraduate programs are delivered on campus. Most graduate programs are delivered on campus - dual delivery and online modes may be available in some graduate programs. Subject delivery modes are published in the Handbook.

Check the census dates for each subject

When you enrol in subjects, it’s important to know the census dates for all of your subjects. The subject census date is the date by which you can make changes to subjects without remaining liable to pay for them.

After you’ve enrolled in your subjects, check your subject census dates and payment due dates via your Statement of Liability, which can be accessed through your my.unimelb account. You can also review census dates by checking the subject entry in the Handbook.

If you want to withdraw from a subject, you should withdraw by the census date. If you withdraw after the census date you will still be required to pay for the subject.
