Common questions

  • Why can’t I enrol after the last self-enrol date?

    If you haven't enrolled by the last self-enrol date you have missed significant subject content and can no longer enrol via your Study Plan. After this date:

    • Late enrolment is not recommended, and you must catch up on any missed content
    • You can email your subject coordinator (find their details in the Handbook) to seek written approval to enrol late
    • If approved, submit an Enrolment Assistance Form (EAF) using the button below and attach the approval email (saved as a PDF) within 72 hours
    • Enrolling after the census date is not possible, even with subject coordinator approval
    • Note: The Faculty of Business and Economics does not approve enrolment in subjects after Friday of Week 3, even with subject coordinator approval.

  • 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.

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

    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 via your study plan. Watch this Using my Study Plan video if you’re unsure how to do this.

    If you have already passed subjects under your major/minor/specialisation and can’t make the change yourself, please submit an Enrolment Assistance Form using the button below. The Enrolment team will check your eligibility based on the space available in your study plan.

    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.

  • Can I reduce my study load?

    Different study load requirements apply for international student visa holders and domestic students.

    • Student visa holders, if you enrol in less than 50 points in any half-year period and you will not be able to complete your course before your CoE expires, check if you are eligible to apply for an approved Reduced study load
    • Domestic students, you can self-manage a part-time study load by enrolling in fewer subjects, noting that it may take longer to complete your course
    • If you’re considering withdrawing from a subject, first check Subject withdrawal to understand the implications of withdrawing at different times in the semester.
