Enrolment

There are two different types of enrolling at UNE: enrolling into your degree (being admitted), then enrolling into units you wish to study (through the Online Enrolment Portal). To assist you with this step of your learning journey, we have put together the following information to assist you.

Enrolment Glossary

New/Commencing Student of UNE (Including Transfer to a New Degree)

If you are a new/commencing student studying with UNE, you may find the process for enrolling a little daunting at first. To help with this, we have developed a guide for you to navigate the Online Enrolment Portal.

Before you get started you will need:

  • To have you Tax File Number or have applied for your Tax File Number
  • To have your Unique Student Identifier (USI) ready to enter into the Online Enrolment Portal. This will not stop you from enrolling into your units (you can skip this step) but will cause issues closer to the Census Date (found in the UNE Principal Dates) if you do not have it. The information about the USI is rather a long read, so, as stated before, you can skip this part of the process and provide it before the Census Date.
  • To become familiar navigating the UNE Course Handbook to help select your units. Below you can find a handy video to help with this. Please make sure you have selected the correct year of study, i.e. your year of enrolment (2022 for new/commencing or transferred students). If you have transferred to a new degree from UNE, you will need to use the UNE Course Handbook and not use the older (pre 2021) Courses and Units Catalogue.

Current/Continuing Student of UNE

Current/continuing students should have a sound grasp of how to navigate the Online Enrolment Portal, however, as there can be some time between enrolment periods and a lot of study in between, we have put together a guide to help you navigate the process.

  • Look at your year of study from either the Courses and Units Catalogue (pre-2021) or the UNE Course Handbook (post-2021) to work out which units you need to study from your course plan. Please remember to select the correct year in which you enrolled as the course plans can change from year to year.
  • If you are graduating after 2023, you will be required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI) ready to enter into the Online Enrolment Portal. This will not stop you from enrolling into your units (you can skip this step) but will cause issues closer to the Census Date (found in the UNE Principal Dates) if you do not have it. The information about the USI is rather a long read, so, as stated before, you can skip this part of the process and provide it before the Census Date.

Even as a current student (often referred to as a continuing student) you may require some assistance. To make it a smooth as possible for you we recommend reviewing your course so you know which units to enrol in and you understand the rules and complete program of study for your specific degree. You can find information on enrolling as a current student on the International Students Enrolment Guide (Current Students).

Open Universities Australia (OUA)

While units are taught by UNE for Open University Australia students (OUA), the enrolment process does not use UNE's enrolment systems. All of this is done through OUA. Please visit OUA to find out more and visit the OUA How to Enrol page for enrolment information.

Open Universities Australia students can also call 136 736.

Cross-Institutional and Non-Award

At UNE single unit enrolment typically occurs for two study types at UNE. Those are:

  • A student needing to study one or more unit/s with UNE with approval from another institution which we call their home provider. This is known as Cross Institutional Study; or
  • Students wishing to study a unit (or set of units) without receiving an award from UNE. This is known as Non-Award study.

For either Cross Institutional and Non-Award study all students need to do the following:

  1. Apply: please apply for admission (with the necessary supporting documents); and if they are offered a place in the unit/s they will be notified about that outcome in an email; and
  2. Enrol: students will then enrol by registering their myUNE and completing all steps of the UNE enrolment process by logging into their myUNE and selecting the Enrolment Portal from thier Enrol or MyEnrol tab.  You should see your approved unit/s are pre-populated for you during this process but you still need to confirm and save them to become enrolled.
  3. Ensure you have completed the enrolment process by the relevant UNE enrolment deadline for the teaching period you intend to study in and stay appraised of any UNE Principal dates in case for any reason you need to change your enrolment e.g withdraw from the unit.

Current UNE Students

For current UNE students wanting to study one or more units with another University that would count towards their course – please refer to the Permission to Enrol Elsewhere information on our website.
