  • My study plan is empty and I can’t see any subjects to choose

    When using your Study Plan 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.

  • What do I need to do if I have been contacted about my completion rate?

    If you are on a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) or use a HELP loan and have been contacted by the University about your completion rate and eligibility for Commonwealth Assistance, it is important you read the email carefully and follow the steps provided.

    If you have failed or withdrawn from subjects after the census date (even as a result of special consideration) and were impacted by special circumstances, you must advise the University by applying for Fee Remission in special circumstances.

  • How do I change or add my major (or minor or specialisation)?

    Before you try to change your major, make sure you have checked the requirements in the Handbook to confirm that you can meet course rules and subject pre-requisites.

    If you are a commencing student or you have not yet enrolled in any major/minor/specialisation subjects, you should be able to make this change yourself using  your Study Plan. Watch Using my Study Plan if you’re unsure how to do this.

    If you have already passed subjects and can’t change your major/minor/specialisation yourself, submit an Enrolment Assistance Form. The Enrolment team will check your eligibility based on the space available on your Study Plan. Refer to Enrolment Assistance for further information.
