Now it’s time to enrol in subjects for your first study period! Make sure you check your study requirements as an international student and keep these in mind when you choose subjects.

A full-time study load is 4 subjects (60 credit points) per semester or 2 subjects (30 credit points) per term. As an international student, you must maintain a full-time study load to complete your course within the timeframe specified in your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and visa conditions.

How to enrol

Enrol via StudentOnLine, follow these steps to enrol FAQ. You must enrol in and complete our compulsory modules during your first study period.

If you change your mind, you can change your enrolment later.

Credit for prior study

If you have previous study or work experience, you might be eligible for credit that will reduce the subjects you need to complete. If you didn’t apply for credit as part of your application, you should apply when you accept your offer because applications close before classes start.
