Enrolments and variations of enrolment

Introduction

Enrolment is the process by which students enrol in a particular award course and units of study. Potential undergraduate and postgraduate students are required to enrol according to the procedure outlined in their offer letter. Enrolment usually occurs in late January and throughout February for Semester 1 and in July for Semester 2.

Local undergraduate students can choose to defer the payment of their fees through the HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP loan schemes, while local postgraduate students can utilise the FEE-HELP loan scheme. Both continuing and potential local students must choose to either pay upfront, pay partially or defer their course fees prior to the census date each semester. International students are required to pay their course fees to the International Student Office before they will be permitted to enrol.

All changes to enrolment must be made prior to the census date or students may be forced to pay additional course fees. For first semester this is the 31st of March and for second semester the 31st of August.

Steps to follow

New students

Potential undergraduate and postgraduate students can only accept their offer by enrolling in person on the date and time specified in their offer letter.

Continuing students

1. Continuing students are not required to attend an enrolment session as they can pre-enrol for the following academic year through the system available on MyUni. Continuing students are sent an information package with instructions about pre-enrolment procedures towards the end of the preceding academic year.
2. Students who are unable to pre-enrol on the internet are required to use the paper-based pre-enrolment form and come in person to the SIO before the specified pre-enrolment closing date.
3. Students who fail to pre-enrol may be fined up to $100. Students are given notice of this penalty in their pre-enrolment information packages but it is up to individual faculties as to whether this fine is imposed. If a student fails to pre-enrol for the following year, the only alternative is to enrol in person on a date and time designated by the Business School.
4. The University sends written notification to all pre-enrolling students in mid January. Successful pre-enrolling students receive a confirmation of their enrolment, information about variation deadlines and an invoice for their compulsory subscription fees for the year as well as applicable course fees for the semester.
5. Students are required to pay their fees within 14 days of receiving the invoice.
6. After payment is complete, students are posted a student ID card.
7. Students who would like transport concessions can apply at the Student Centre.
8. Unsuccessful pre-enrolling students are notified in writing that they have failed to pre-enrol and are required to enrol in person on a date and time designated by the Business School. They will be required to pay their fees on this day.

Enrolment variations

Once a student is successfully enrolled or pre-enrolled in an award course, it is possible to vary the enrolment through MyUni - the University of Sydney intranet. All students have secure access to MyUni through the use of a login name and password given to them at their initial enrolment session. Any problems or queries with regards to MyUni should be referred to the University IT Help Desk. Enrolment variations can only be made in the periods designated by the Student Centre, and student access is restricted during January. Enrolment variations may only be made before the following deadlines:
