When using your study plan in my.unimelb for the first time, you should be able to see the major, minor, specialisation, and subject options available for you to choose from.
If you can only see a line with your course title and nothing else, your study plan needs to be expanded to include these options. The University will expand your study plan for you within two working days from the date that you were admitted to your course. Once your study plan has been expanded, you will be able to plan and enrol in subjects.
If your study plan has not been expanded within two working days of admission to your course, you can submit a request via the Enrolment Assistance Form.

Preventing Sexual Misconduct is a mandatory eLearning module for all commencing coursework students. A PSM sanction is applied to your account if you did not complete the module by Monday 29 June 2026. The PSM sanction blocks access to your subject results.
To have the sanction removed, you must complete the module and score 100% on each quiz. You can review the content and attempt each quiz as many times as needed.
Once you have achieved 100% on each quiz, the PSM sanction will be removed from your record within 1–2 business days.
Further information about the purpose of the module and how to complete it is available here. Preventing Sexual Misconduct is mandatory for all students; however, exemptions are available in certain circumstances.

Re-enrolment
For more information about the re-enrolment process and requirements, visit the Re-enrolment webpage.
-
If your enrolment is incomplete after the Semester 1 census date, the following will happen based on your enrolment status:
No re-enrolment or leave taken in either half-year period
Your course will be cancelled after Semester 1 census date. If you wish to continue your studies, you must apply for reinstatement.
Only re-enrolled or leave taken for the second half-year and not the first-half year period
Your course will be cancelled after the Semester 1 census date, and you will be withdrawn from Semester 2 subjects. If you miss the Semester 1 census date deadline and wish to continue your studies, you must apply for reinstatement.
Only re-enrolled or leave taken for the first half-year and not the second half-year period (and are not on track to finish mid-year)
Your course will be cancelled after the Semester 2 census date.
To continue your studies, you must enrol in subjects or apply for leave for the second half-year period before the standard Semester 2 period. If you miss this deadline, you must apply for reinstatement.
-
Subjects are taught online or on campus (in person). To confirm the delivery mode for each subject, check the subject information page.
-
If you re-enrol for 2027, your fees will appear in your Statement of Liability and Student Invoice from mid-December, after the timely re-enrolment period closes.
-
- If your current leave ends in December, you must re-enrol if you still have subjects left to complete. Your leave will not block you from re-enrolling
- If you have approved leave for the first half of next year, you must still re-enrol in subjects for the second half-year period.
-
Re-enrol during the timely re-enrolment period, even if you are waiting to see a course adviser. You can change your enrolment later after receiving advice. By re-enrolling on time, you avoid the late re-enrolment fee. Waiting for advice is not a reason for this fee to be waived.
-
- Re-enrol as if your application will not be approved
- If your application is approved:
- Update your enrolment as soon as possible and withdraw from course/s you no longer plan to take.
- To avoid additional fees, do this before your subject census dates.
-
International students without a current CoE can still re-enrol. The CoE will be organised later, based on your enrolment.
-
- If you were due to finish and may be eligible for Final Subject Assessment (FSA), you won’t have been invited to re-enrol so the re-enrolment deadlines don’t apply
- If you fail your final subject, you should re-enrol because FSA is not guaranteed. You can change your enrolment later if you pass the FSA. Learn more about final subject assessments.
-
- Overdue fees prevent you from re-enrolling
- To lift the sanction, pay your overdue fees.
- Allow up to two business days for payment to be processed.
-
If you can't update your study plan, submit an Enrolment Assistance Form.
Submit as soon as possible and during the timely period to avoid the late fee.
-
We usually remove failed subjects from your study plan within 24 hours to free up space or allow you to re-enrol.
If a failed subjects remains on your study plan for more than 24 hours after 1 December, submit an Enrolment Assistance Form.
