The Enrolment Assistance Form

Use the Enrolment Assistance Form when you cannot enrol or make a change to your study plan via my.unimelb.

You can submit an Enrolment Assistance Form to:

Change your study plan

  • Change your major or minor
    If you have already completed subjects in your major or minor, you will need help if you want to change. Please make sure you have enough space remaining in your study plan for your proposed new major.
  • Move subjects on your study plan
    For example, you may want to move a subject from the ‘free points’ section of your study plan to make room for a breadth subject.
  • Resolve an empty study plan
    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, you will need help to submit an Enrolment Assistance Form for help to expand your Study Plan.

Enrol in subjects

  • Add a subject that is in the Handbook for your course
    If the subject is listed in the Handbook for your course, but it does not appear as an option on your study plan. Before submitting the form, check you are choosing from the right part of your study plan (eg elective, breadth, major elective)
  • Take a subject not in the Handbook for your course
    You must have approval and attach supporting documentation (details below).
  • Waive a prerequisite
    If you have not completed a listed prerequisite but have completed equivalent study at another university. You must have approval and attach supporting documentation (details below).
  • Enrol with an approved non-VCE subject prerequisite
    The enrolment system does not recognise your VCE or equivalent secondary studies as meeting prerequisites for a particular subject. Please attach supporting documentation (details below). For instructions on how to get non-VCE subject prerequisites approved, visit our Non-VCE subject prerequisites FAQ.
  • Accept a non-credit exemption
    If you were offered a non-credit exemption on your offer letter, your study plan will need to be adjusted to remove the core subject(s) and add room for elective(s).
  • Apply to overload
    You can apply to enrol in more than 50 points in a semester if you meet the eligibility criteria.
  • Apply to cross-credit subjects (concurrent diplomas)
    A maximum of 50 points may be cross-credited from a bachelor degree to a concurrent diploma.
  • Enrol after the last self-enrol date
    The last self-enrol date is the final date you can enrol via your study plan. After this date you will need to obtain Subject Coordinator approval and submit an Enrolment Assistance Form.

    The Faculty of Business and Economics does not approve enrolment in subjects after Friday of Week 3, even with subject coordinator approval. If you were prevented from enrolling on time for reasons outside of your control your application will be assessed but enrolment is not guaranteed.

Please note: You cannot enrol in a subject after the census date, even if you have approval from the Subject Coordinator.
