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 with attached coordinator permission where required
- Move subjects around on your Study Plan
- Add, remove or change your major, minor or stream
- Request to overload.
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.
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.
At-Risk appointments for Second Half Year 2024 will be available from Tuesday 10 December 2024. If you are deemed At Risk, you will receive an email advising when appointments are open and link to the booking service.
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 reschedule or cancel your appointment so other students can use the service.
Preparing for your appointment
To make the most of your appointment, we recommend you prepare by having a list of questions ready for your course adviser and exploring these resources:
- Review our how to plan your course page
- Find out how to enrol in subjects and use the Study Plan
- Check your course and subject details in the Handbook
- Review your faculty resources, videos and guides, and download a course map template to help you build your course
- If you are a first-year undergraduate student, use My Course Planner to plan your subjects and add your My Course Planner link to your booking notes.
- If you're a new student, follow the steps in Get Started at Melbourne.
