This is a list of enrolment error messages that you might encounter in myUNSW.
Please contact The Nucleus: Student Hub, if you need help with resolving a particular error.
For a list of common terms and their meaning, see the UNSW Glossary.
Error #1 - Not eligible to enrol for term
You are not active in the term you selected. This may be because you are on leave, have completed, or have withdrawn from your program. Check that you are attempting to enrol for the correct term. If you still have a problem, contact your program authority.
Error #5 - Already enrolled in class, Add not processed
Your enrolment request was not processed because you are already enrolled in the class. Check your enrolment status for the class by viewing your class timetable. If you were trying to change components within a course, please select the Swap button next to the course and then change components by selecting the Proceed to Enrol option.
Error #7 - Not enrolled, class [class name] full
Your enrolment has not been processed because the class (lecture, tutorial or lab) you chose is full. If the class appears to have vacancies, this may be because quotas have been reserved for other groups (e.g. students from other faculties or programs). Please visit our webpage on how to join Course and Class waitlists.
Error #17 - Time scheduling conflict for class [class name] and [class name], not enrolled
Your enrolment request was not processed because of a timetabling clash. The class you were trying to enrol in overlaps partially or completely with a class you are already enrolled in. If you wish to enrol in this class and drop the class with which it clashes, use the Swap function. If you believe you have good reason to enrol in both classes, submit a Timetable Clash Enrolment request online.
Error #18 - Requisites not met for class, not enrolled
Your enrolment request was not processed because you have not met the requirements (e.g. prerequisite, co-requisite) for the class. You should choose another class. If you believe you have met the requirements (through study at UNSW or at another institution), or have a special need to enrol in the class, submit a Requisite Waiver request online.
Error #19 - Co-requisites not met for class, not enrolled
You were not enrolled in the class because co-requisites were not satisfied. You must submit co-requisite classes together in the one enrolment submission.
Error #20 - Class taken previously, repeat not allowed
Your enrolment request was not processed because you were attempting to enrol in a class belonging to a course you have already taken and satisfactorily completed. You are not permitted to take the class again for credit. You should choose another class. If you believe this is incorrect, or if you have a special need to enrol in the class, contact The Nucleus: Student Hub.
Error #30 - Maximum term unit load exceeded
Your enrolment request was not processed because adding the class would have put you above the maximum number of units of credit you can take for this term. You should choose another class with a lower unit value, or swap one of the classes you are already enrolled in (using the Swap option). If you believe you have a special need to overload (i.e. enrol in more than more than the normal maximum number of units for your program), submit an Overload Studies request online. For example, you may need to overload this term in order to complete the requirements to graduate with your degree.
Error #32 - Enrolment is not allowed for this class: it is outside the career of study
Your enrolment request was not processed because the class does not meet the enrolment rules for your career.
- Students in one career (e.g. undergraduate) are generally not allowed to enrol in courses of another career (e.g. postgraduate).
- Students in some programs are not permitted to enrol in particular subject areas.
- Students at UNSW Canberra at ADFA campus are not allowed to enrol in courses offered at Kensington and the College of Fine Arts.
- Students at Kensington and the College of Fine Arts campuses are not allowed to enrol in courses offered at UNSW Canberra at ADFA.
If you believe you have a special need to enrol in this class, contact The Nucleus: Student Hub.

Error #38 - [class name] to enrol in class, Add not processed

Error #86 - Swap not processed, Hold on record

Error #87 - Hold on record, Add not processed
Your enrolment request was not processed because there is an action item on your record, e.g. a library fines block, a fees block, or another step in the enrolment process that must be completed first. Instructions on how to clear each action item appear on your myUNSW Home tab. Remove your actions then try again.
Error #91 - Maximum semester unit load exceeded
Your enrolment request was not processed because it would have put you over your maximum unit load for this semester. Submit an Overload Studies request online for permission to overload or swap this class for another you are already enrolled in, or drop another class so that you can add this one.

Error #158 - Swap not processed, grade present on 'From' class
