ENROLMENT
Correct enrolment is the individual responsibility of each student.
The faculty assumes that those enrolled in the faculty have an understanding of the rules and regulations outlined below as they relate to the particular program being undertaken.
While Student Central at the Faculty of Health Sciences will assist you to understand and interpret these rules and regulations, it is in your interests to put your requests to the faculty in writing in order to obtain a written reply for your own records and to ensure that a copy is placed on your student file for future reference.
Verbal advice, while given in good faith, may be given on an incomplete understanding of your situation as you have presented it or may be misinterpreted or misunderstood.

Deferment of enrolment
A person granted admission to an undergraduate course of the faculty and who undertook the NSW Higher School Certificate, or its equivalent, in the preceding year, will be permitted to defer enrolment for a maximum period of one year, upon written application to the Admissions Officer, University of Sydney by the specified date.
Deferment of enrolment will not normally be granted to enable an applicant to undertake another tertiary course.
Deferment of enrolment will not normally be granted to other students, including postgraduate students unless there have been extreme and unpredictable changes in circumstances since applying for the course.
A request together with documentary evidence for special circumstances may be lodged in writing to the Manager, Student Central, Faculty of Health Sciences.
International students may be permitted to defer enrolment upon written application to the University of Sydney International Office, and approval of the course coordinator.

Enrolment of continuing students
Students continuing into next year will pre-enrol on the web (POW) in October of the preceding year of enrolment.
Students whose pre-enrolment on the web (POW) is unsuccessful will be required to enrol in person (except for off-campus students) at scheduled times in mid-February, and will be required to pay fees at enrolment. A notice will be sent to these students in late January.

Enrolment variations
Students should carefully check the statements of enrolment that are posted to the semester address registered with the University.
Variations of enrolment may be made online via the MyUni website or through Student Central by the due date.
Advising the lecturer or the discipline of a change to your enrolment is not sufficient. Students have sometimes found themselves with an unwelcome result of Absent Fail or with an unnecessary HECS liability because they either did not check their enrolment carefully or forgot to advise the University of a new correspondence address. Students are encouraged to check with Student Central without delay if they believe their formal enrolment may not be correct.
Students wishing to withdraw from a unit of study in which they have enrolled and enrol into a new unit of study must do so at Student Central or via MyUni by:
- the end of the second week of first semester (for first semester units of study)
- the end of the second week of second semester (for second semester units of study)

A student enrolled in a postgraduate award course may not enrol in units of study with a total value of more than 24 credit points in any one semester, or 12 credit points in the summer session.
