Enrolment Frequently Asked Questions

What is a level 1 course and what is an advanced course?


A level 1 course is a course that has the number 1 as the second digit. For example:
COIT11223 is a level 1 course and it is a foundation course in a program.
An advanced course is any course that does not start with the number 1 as the second
digit. For example: ACCT19082 and MMST13015

I have a problem with my enrolment and dont know what to do?
Where should I go?
If you need course advice or need to discuss your program, go to level 1 between 1-4pm
and the Program Adviser will be available to answer all of your queries.

What is a Co-requisite?
A co-requisite is a course that must be studied concurrently with another specified course
unless a passing grade for the co-requisite course has already been obtained.

What is a pre-requisite?
A pre-requisite is a course in which a passing grade is required before enrolment in a
subsequent course is permitted

If I enrol online in a course that has a pre-requisite, what happens?
If you have passed the pre-requisite your enrolment will go through without a problem.
If you have not passed the pre-requisite the system will not enrol you in the course. You
will then need to contact a Program Advisor by sending an email to
[email protected] and they will liaise with the Associate Dean Academic to
apply for permission to enrol in the course without having passed the pre-requisite. If the
pre-requisite is approved, Program Advisors will adjust your enrolment. You do not need to
try to enrol in the course again.

Enrolment FAQS
Last updated: 21/01/2014
How Many Courses do I need to Enrol in?
International Students must maintain a full time study load in the Term 1 and Term 2 study
periods. A standard full time study load is 4 courses for under graduate students and 3
courses for postgraduate. In certain circumstances students may be able to enrol in study
loads outside these requirements as detailed below.
I want to over-enrol? How do I do it?
Over-enrolling as an undergraduate is doing more than 4 courses in a term. Overenrolling as
a postgrad means doing more than 3 courses in a term. All applications for over-enrolment
are approved by the Associate Dean Academic, David Hamilton. David however will not
consider any application until results are released. Ordinarily to have an over-enrolment
approved, you must have a Credit average in your results, have no fail results, and be
enrolling in your final term.

I want to under-enrol. Can I do it?
Any International Student who enrols in less than 8 undergraduate or 6 postgraduate
courses in term 1 & 2 are required to make up the balance in Term 3. Please note that
Undergraduate International Students must enrol in at least 3 courses in Term 1 and Term 2
and Postgraduate International Students must enrol in at least 2 courses in Term 1 and
Term 2.

International Students who do not maintain a full time enrolment are at risk of not completing
their program within the duration of their COE and/or student visa. Where a full time study
load has not been maintained, an extension COE may not be issued and a student may not
be able to complete his/her program on campus.

What are electives and restricted electives?
Within many programs you will find reference to electives. In undergraduate programs you
may be asked to select from any FABIE elective. That is, from the list of
at the link below:

You may also be asked to choose an elective from anywhere in the university. This means it
can be any course you wish (as long as pre-requisites are met).
