Each term, you will also need to select your classes, such as your tutorial and lecture times before the start of the term/semester.

Things to note

Here are some important things to know in special enrolment circumstances.

  • You cannot enrol in more than one program, such as a degree, diploma or certificate, at the same time as another program at UNSW or any other tertiary institution. You must seek approval from the Program Authority of the relevant faculties. 

    If you’re found to be enrolled, without approval, in more than one program, you may be suspended from your studies at UNSW. An exception is the concurrent enrolment of LLB/JD students in the Graduate Diploma of Legal Professional Practice, which is permitted.    

  • Due to the different academic calendars, it is generally not permitted to undertake cross-campus enrolment between UNSW Sydney and UNSW Canberra.
