Course planning advice
All coursework students can access dedicated appointments with specialist course advisers. Appointments are virtual or in-person.
Before booking an appointment
Try our online planner
Use My Course Planner to plan your subjects and majors for your bachelors degree and a range of graduate coursework courses.
Check if you can use the Enrolment Assistance Form
Before booking an appointment, check whether you're able to manage your own enrolment online. Many enrolment changes can be made quickly and easily by submitting an Enrolment Assistance Form.
You can submit an Enrolment Assistance Form to:
- Have a subject prerequisite waived
- Move subjects around on your Study Plan
- Change your major, minor or stream
- Request to overload or over-enrol.
You can also submit an online request to take a Leave of Absence or reduce your study load.

There is often high demand for course planning and enrolment support appointments during our peak periods of June-August and November-March. During these peaks, appointment durations are shortened so we can open more booking times for you to choose from. Booking outside of peak periods will enable you to have a longer conversation with an Adviser.
| Period | Appointment length |
|---|---|
| January-March | 10 minutes |
| April-May | 15 minutes |
| June-August | 10 minutes |
| September-December | 15 minutes |
Additional appointments are released daily at 9am and 12pm (AEDT/AEST), so please check back then to book the next available appointment. Alternatively you can submit an online enquiry or review our online information about how to plan your course.
We encourage you to review your course plans regularly through your studies and contact our Course Advisers throughout the year. You can either book an appointment or submit an enquiry.

When booking an appointment, select one of the following from the 'Booking Type' field:
- 'Course Planning (In-person)' (for an in-person appointment)
- 'Course Planning (Virtual)' (for a virtual appointment via Zoom)
For virtual, we strongly recommend you are in a quiet area with access to a computer so that we can talk through your Study Plan and other resources. Our adviser will contact you as close to your appointment time as possible.
If you can't attend, please cancel your appointment
If you can’t attend your appointment, please cancel it so that other students can book the time.
