Open Universities Australia Orientation
Studying at UNE through OUA
Welcome OUA students to UNE!
At the University of New England (UNE) we are committed to supporting your student journey with flexible online study options in partnership with Open Universities Australia (OUA).
Enrolment
If you are studying through OUA, either in a UNE/OUA Degree or in OUA’s Open Access you will need to enrol in and withdraw from units directly through the OUA website.
For enrolment and withdrawal issues please reach out to the OUA Student Advisors for support.
You will receive a Welcome Letter and Enrolment Summary emails from UNE at the email address you registered with OUA. Your Welcome Letter will include the steps needed to register your account with UNE and further information about getting started.
It is important to note that OUA enrolment and applications close earlier than at UNE:
📅 OUA Applications Close: Sunday 21st June, 2026
📅 Last day to enrol in OUA units: Friday 26th June, 2026
🔔 Reminder
To avoid financial penalties, students must withdraw from units by the relevant census date within a Trimester.
To avoid academic penalties, students must withdraw from units by the relevant withdrawal without academic penalty date
