Enrolment errors

You are not active in the term you selected. This may be because you are on leave, have completed, or have withdrawn from your program. Check that you are attempting to enrol for the correct term. If you still have a problem, contact your Program Authority.

Your enrolment request was not processed because you are already enrolled in the class. Check your enrolment status for the class by viewing your class timetable. 

If you were trying to change classes (lecture, tutorial, lab or project) within a course:

1. Update your enrolment on myUNSW and click on the 'Select Classes' button.

2. Choose your new classes and click on the 'Select Classes' button again.

3. Review your new selection before confirming and submitting your enrolment request.

Your enrolment has not been processed because the class (lecture, tutorial, lab or project) you chose is full. If the class appears to have vacancies, this may be because quotas have been reserved for other groups (e.g. students from other faculties or programs). You will need to join a Course and/or Class waitlist to be automatically enrolled once space becomes available.

Your enrolment request was not processed because of a timetabling clash. The class you were trying to register in overlaps partially or completely with a class you are already registered in.

If you wish to register in this class and drop the class with which it clashes, swap your class. If you believe you have good reason to register in both classes, submit a Timetable Clash Enrolment request to seek approval for the timetabling conflict.

Your enrolment request was not processed because you have not met the requirements (prerequisites, co-requisites and/or specialisation) for the class. You should choose another class. If you believe you have met the requirements (through study at UNSW or at another institution), or have a special need to enrol in the class, submit a Requisite Waiver Enrolment request.

Back to top

You were not enrolled in the class because the co-requisites were not satisfied. You must submit co-requisite classes together in the one enrolment submission. If you are unable to satisfy the co-requisites, select another class or submit a Requisite Waiver request.

Back to top

Your enrolment request was not processed because you were attempting to enrol in a class belonging to a course you have already completed. You are not permitted to take the course again for credit and must choose another course to enrol into. If you believe this is incorrect, or if you have a special need to enrol in the class, contact your Program Authority.

Back to top

Your enrolment request was not processed because adding the course would have put you above the maximum number of units of credit you can take for this term. You should choose another course with a lower unit value, swap a course you're already enrolled in, or drop a course. 

If you believe you have a special need to overload (i.e. enrol in more than more than the normal maximum number of units for your program), submit an Overload Studies request. Overloading may be granted to fast track your degree or prevent the delay of your completion.

Your enrolment request was not processed because the class does not meet the enrolment rules for your career.

• Students in one career (e.g. undergraduate) are generally not allowed to enrol in courses of another career (e.g. postgraduate).

• Students in some programs are not permitted to enrol in particular subject areas.

• Students at UNSW Canberra at ADFA campus are not allowed to enrol in courses offered at Kensington and the College of Fine Arts.

If you believe you have a special need to enrol in this class, contact your Program Authority.
