Conditions of Enrolment

Students enrolling online, are required to agree to the following declaration. Students who do not agree to the declaration may not enrol.

As a student, it is your responsibility to ensure that you only enrol in courses counted towards your degree (program). Your enrolment must comply with the rules for your degree that are listed in the University Calendar. You may be withdrawn from courses if you are ineligible to be enrolled.

“I agree to abide by the University’s Statutes, Regulations, Rules and Policies, the Student Charter and other reasonable directions and conditions as may be stipulated by the University from time to time, whilst I am enrolled as a student at the University, including the Academic Progress by Coursework Students Policy, Academic Integrity Policy, Coursework Academic Programs Policy,  IT Acceptable Use and Security Policy, Student Misconduct Policy, Student Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response Policy, Student Fees Refund Policy and Procedures, Student Health Assessment and Leave Policy and Procedures, Student Loan Policy, Modified Arrangements for Coursework Assessment (MACA) Policy– accessible at https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/atoz/ .

I acknowledge that enrolment is my responsibility, and this includes ensuring that I can fulfil any inherent or other requirements of my program/courses and that all course enrolments are finalised by the relevant close of enrolment and census date in each study period. I understand and accept that I will incur fees and liability for any courses in which I am enrolled at the census date, and will also be liable for all Student Services and Amenities Fees (SSAF) or other fees or charges as set out in the University’s Rules and Policies as applicable to my enrolment. I agree to pay all mandatory fees by the due date, unless an alternate date is approved by the University.

I understand that the provision of incorrect, inaccurate, fraudulent or misleading information or documentation by me or a third party on my behalf, either before or after my enrolment, may result in the University terminating my enrolment or imposing other penalties in accordance with relevant Rules and Policies. The University reserves the right to cancel a student’s current and/or future enrolment. The University is not obliged to reimburse any costs and expenses I have paid or incurred as a consequence of my enrolment.

I understand and agree that it is my responsibility to, where required, provide a Unique Student Identifier (USI)  and to ensure my personal details are accurate and kept up to date.

I understand that University communication and correspondence will be sent to my University email account, and I agree to check my University email account on a regular basis (at least once per week). I understand the University may also send ‘SMS’ texts to my nominated mobile phone number.

I acknowledge that the collection, use, storage and disclosure of my personal information by the University will be in accordance with the University’s Privacy Policy and Management Plan which contains the Student Privacy Statement.

I understand and accept that the University is required to disclose details of my enrolment and other study-related information (including academic performance) to Australian and State Government departments and agencies to satisfy funding, reporting and other requirements, and to verify details relating to my enrolment. If I am an international student studying in Australia, I understand that these reports may have implications for my student visa.

I agree that the University may disclose my enrolment and other information to third parties contracted by the University to provide services to or on behalf of the University as well as collaborating parties, for example, to facilitate vocational placements, student exchanges, joint activities.“

Students are encouraged to contact a Program/Student Adviser before enrolment each year to obtain course advice or, if required, obtain approval for their proposed program of study. The names of coordinators may be obtained from Faculty/School Offices.

All students must comply with the Rules for their Academic Program. Students should ensure that they only enrol for courses that may be presented towards their award. The Academic Program Rules are listed in the University of Adelaide calendar. While Faculties/Schools will endeavour to contact students if their enrolments do not comply with Program Rules and may withdraw students from courses in which they are not eligible to enrol, it is the students' responsibility to ensure that their enrolment is correct. International students on student visas should consult the International Student Centre to ensure that their enrolments comply with the conditions of their visa.

All courses offered in a particular year can be viewed on the course planner.

If enrolment numbers for a particular course are less than the minimum specified by the Faculty, the Faculty is not bound to offer that course. Any impacted students will be counselled about suitable alternatives. The availability of courses may also be conditional upon the availability of staff and resources. Faculties may set quotas for enrolment in individual courses and will determine and publish the selection criteria for the filling of these quotas. Faculties may also restrict enrolment in individual courses in accordance with Academic Program Rules.

A course cannot be counted more than once towards a single award.

Note: Repeating a failed course may place the student at risk under the Academic Progress for Coursework Students Policy.

For rules about enrolment restrictions, refer to the relevant Academic Program Rules for your program, and the ‘Coursework Academic Programs Policy’.

Select the 'swap' button and swap classes within the same course (e.g. from one tutorial to another) or swap to another course.

Adding a course

Students can enrol into courses online once their program opens, and before the 'last day to add online' date for that teaching term is reached. After the last day to add courses online for a term of study, students will not be able to enrol late. You will need to submit an Late Enrolment Request form to seek any changes. Permission to enrol late is at the discretion of both the relevant academic area (you must have been attending classes and submitting assignments), and Student Administration of the University.

Students should aim to be enrolled before the census date in each semester/term for the academic year. Enrolment by the census date in a teaching period, or for later changes processed by Student Administration, will impact fee charges.

Dropping a course

Students may  'drop' or delete courses at any time during the semester/term although the dates on which students withdraw from a course affects the way that the withdrawal is permanently recorded on their academic transcript.

In general, a withdrawal can be:

• Completely deleted from the transcript (if actioned prior to the census date published in Course Planner for that course) or
• Recorded as a Withdraw No Fail (WNF) (if actioned by the relevant WNF date) or
• Recorded as a Withdraw Fail (WF) (if actioned by the relevant WF date)

See the full list of critical dates that affect enrolments.

In exceptional circumstances, students may be permitted to Withdraw No Fail (WNF) from a course after the relevant WNF date. Students must submit an online Amendment to Enrolment and Fees form explaining the reasons for their request and providing relevant, independent documentation that supports their application within the criteria set for this form. Applications must be submitted to Student Administration within 12 months of the date of withdrawal from the course, or 12 months from the last day of the replacement exam period for the relevant semester/term if the student did not withdraw.

Note:

Applications submitted outside the 12 month period or do not meet the Criteria or without independent support will NOT be considered. Further advice is available at the /enrol website under Forms.

Students are not eligible to apply if they have been completed in their program, passed the course they are applying for, or have had an Academic Misconduct recorded due to a breach under the Academic Integrity Policy.

Students wishing to undertake more than a standard academic program load are encouraged to consult and obtain approval from their program adviser and their Faculty/School.

The standard academic program load is as follows:

• 12 units per semester/half year course;
• 9 units per trimester;
• 6 units per term;
• 3 units per summer/winter school; or
• 3 units per online teaching period.

Students who undertake an overload and subsequently fail their courses may become subject to the Academic Progress by Coursework Students policy applied during the year.

All enrolments must be finalised by the relevant census date in each semester/term and students will incur a financial liability for any courses in which they are enrolled at this date.  In exceptional circumstances, students may be able to submit a Late Enrolment Request or Class Swap after the census date.

Note:

Students are not eligible to apply if they have been completed in their program, passed the course they are applying for, or have had an Academic Misconduct recorded due to a breach under the Academic Integrity Policy.

Students will not be permitted to enrol if they have outstanding financial obligations to the University. Students who decide to take a break from study should contact their faculty for advice about taking a leave of absence from their program.
