Unit Enrolment:

You can check which units you are enrolled in and have completed at any time during your enrolment.  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT AT THE START OF EACH SEMESTER YOU CHECK STUDENT ONLINE TO ENSURE THAT YOUR ENROLMENT IS CORRECT FOR THE SEMESTER.

If you need to make any changes to your enrolment you may do so up to census date.  To make changes, please fill out the Variation of Enrolment form and fax / post to the relevant postgraduate administration officer.  All forms received will be acknowledged via your student email account.  If you do not get a confirmation email within a week, please contact the relevant office as it would mean they DID NOT receive your form.

IMPORTANT: It is important that your units are correct.  After census date you will be charged for any subject you are enrolled in and printed on your record even if you never attended the classes.  Likewise, if you are not enrolled in a subject but attend classes and hand in assignments, you will not get a grade and the subject will not count towards your course.

Results:

Results can be accessed via Student OnLine on and after their official release dates.

• Preparing and presenting written work
• Participating in tutorials and practicals
• Specific course requirements (e.g. learning in anatomy and clinics)
• Maintaining motivation, goal setting, and coping and dealing with stress

Postgraduates can seek advice and assistance on a range of matters

• Returning to study issues
• Advanced writing and research skills

How does the scheme work?
Each year a network of staff from within the Faculty is appointed as Advisers.  Students are free to arrange individual, confidential consultations with an Adviser on any aspect of study skills and to attend seminars given by Advisers.
