Managing Your Enrolment


Getting Started

Planning Your Enrolment

Before you begin enrolling, it is best to make a plan to ensure you meet your requirements by the end of your degree. The below will help you understand where you find the requirements for your course.

  • Make sure you check your course rules under the Course and Unit Catalogue (CAUC) (the year you commenced your course referred to in your offer or transfer letter) and where provided, course plans, to work out which units you are going to enrol in. Unit information for 2022 is now in the UNE Course Handbook
    • only choose appropriate units for your course from the 2022 Course Handbook. Please note that each year the University deletes units, changes unit codes and adds new units. - check Courses Updates for details
    • it is helpful to open two browser windows or tabs of the Course and Unit Catalogue while planning your enrolment:. One set to year you commenced your course (open to your course plan) and a second window set to the current year (to search for units):
    • make sure you check the timetable to ensure there are no on campus or intensive school clashes for the units you have chosen before you log in
    • please check for units with Mandatory Intensive schools that are scheduled prior to the commencement of a teaching period and do not enrol in units that have Mandatory Intensive schools that you cannot attend
    • it is recommended that you enrol as early as possible and for the full academic year. Except for year-long units fees are charged and invoiced on a trimester basis, not the full academic year. Enrolling early ensures that you secure your place in the unit. It is also a good idea to check the textbook requirements for your units and place your orders early to ensure delivery prior to the commencement of the teaching period.

Unit enrolment works like a shopping cart - you will need to:

  1. search for units,
  2. select the desired offering for each unit, then
  3. add them to your unit cart;
  4. proceed to the checkout step,
  5. check your selection, and
  6. save your unit selections to finalise your enrolment

Please note: you will not be enrolled until you have completed checkout and seen a confirmation message that your unit enrolment has been saved.

Step 4. My Unit - Receipt., above large green tick in circle and message "Unit Enrolment successfully saved."

How to Resolve Invalid Units

If you select any units for which you have not satisfied a condition of enrolment, they will be marked 'INVALID' at the checkout step. This usually means you haven't completed a pre-requisite unit, or you are enrolled in another that can't be studied in conjunction with the selected unit. You may still enrol in the unit, but you will likely have to request permission once you have completed unit enrolment.

Reason for invalid units

To find out the specific reason that a selected uni is invalid, expand the information link next to the INVALID status in the unit cart table. This will tell you what action is needed, which is usually to submit one of the following forms in AskUNE:

Expnded invalid message, reading: Student has not satisfied a co-requisite for unit HLTH423. To request permission to undertake this unit please complete the Waive Requisite form in AskUNE.

Submit the form after you have saved the unit cart, including the invalid unit/s.

If you have chosen an invalid unit by mistake, you can go back and remove it from your cart before completing checkout.

Don't leave unsaved units in your cart, even if they are invalid.

Hints and Tips

Try enrolling as early as possible and for the entire academic year (all available teaching periods). Enrolling early ensures that you secure your place in the unit. The best part is: you can change your enrolment right up to the beginning of each teaching period so you are not locked in if something changes.

Unit fees are charged at the beginning of the teaching period, so early enrolment won't affect when you pay.

Make sure you check the textbook requirements for your units and place your orders early to ensure delivery prior to the commencement of the teaching period.

If you have chosen an invalid unit by mistake, you can go back and remove it from your cart before completing checkout.

Access the Study Assist website. This site contains a lot of useful information about undertaking higher education studies at an Australian university.

After re-enrolling online, it is advisable to re-check the units you have enrolled in to ensure they will count towards the requirements of your course.

Knowing Your Rules and Planning Ahead

You will need to use the rules for your course as presented in the Course and Unit Catalogue. It may assist to bookmark and/or print out your program of study and course plans to keep track of when you complete such things as core units, prescribed units and elective units. Re-check to make sure that the units you have enrolled in definitely count towards completing your course.

Sometimes courses have changes to their study plan. The Course Updates page may assist you to understand any changes to your course from 2009 - 2019.
