When do course outlines become available and when does course content get released?

You should receive this information in week one of term through Moodle.

When should students select their courses for every term? Are there any notifications about when to choose courses?

Regarding enrolment/course selection, UNSW has adopted annual enrolment, allowing students to enrol for an entire year in the courses they intend to complete each term.  

Annual enrolment usually opens around October. In addition to annual enrolment, students must class register for their classes each term. This is when you choose the class times you wish to attend.  

Class registration opens 2-3 months before the start of each term. The University will notify you in a series of communications, which will include information on enrolment and class registration deadlines. However, students should also familiarise themselves with the UNSW academic calendar and key enrolment dates. 

What should I do if a class I want to enrol in is already full? What advice do you have for students if core courses that are prerequisites to later courses are at capacity?

It is recommended that students enrol and class register as early as possible to avoid disappointment. In the event that students miss out on enrolling in a particular course or class, they can submit a full class request to the Nucleus Student Hub who will endeavour to assist.

Who do I speak to about transferring course credits from another degree?

Credit will be assessed by the Nucleus Student Hub. It is important that you submit your application for credit as early as possible.

You can refer to the MyLaw student intranet to see what they might be eligible for prior to submitting their application, or contact the Nucleus: Student Hub for more information. 

I am interested in exchange. Can I have some more details about this?

As a UNSW Law & Justice student, you can study overseas on an international exchange at leading universities around the world. UNSW students do not pay any additional tuition fees to the overseas host institution and your courses will be credited to your degree.

Completing part of your law program at an overseas institution is both a culturally rewarding and intellectually enriching experience. Students are eligible to go on exchange in their fourth or fifth year of an undergraduate degree; during the second or third year of a Juris Doctor (JD) program; or after you have completed 24 UOC in the Master of Laws. 

Start planning your overseas experience for when borders open again! We partner with a number of universities across the UK and the world, see partner universities.
