Late Enrolment

Here you will find instructions for applying to change your enrolment when you cannot use myUNSW to do so. This may be:

  • When online enrolment via myUNSW has closed (usually the end of Week 1).
  • Where school consent is required.
  • Where myUNSW has not recognised that you have completed the pre-requisites for that course.

Guidelines

Adding courses

  • The deadline for adding courses is the end of the first week of the teaching period in which the course is offered.
  • After the deadline you must use this form to apply to add courses (proof of previous attendance may be required).
  • You must submit your online request for late enrolment, no later than 12 noon (Midday) on Friday of week 2.
  • Please note that approval to enrol late, will only be approved in exceptional circumstances.


Dropping courses

  • Courses can be dropped online via myUNSW without financial penalty up until the census date of the relevant teaching period.
  • If you drop a course after the relevant census date you will retain a HECS and/or fee liability for that course.
  • You can drop courses without academic failure up until Sunday of Week 6 of standard term and up until the census date for most other teaching periods.
  • If both the census date and the withdraw without penalty date have passed and you want to drop a course, you may be able to use the Fee Remission (Special Circumstances) process.
