Adding your subjects/major

  • Locate the space for the subject/major in your study plan and click 'Select'.
  • From the resulting search screen, you may enter the subject, major, minor or name, or use the ‘filters’.
  • Alternatively, complete a blank search to view a list of all available options.
  • Add your desired subject, major or minor from your search results.
  • Your selection should appear in your study plan as 'Planned'. You can still change your selection before continuing to enrol.

  • If you are a graduate researcher, view how to add or remove coursework subjects.

    If you are a Study Abroad and Exchange student, you will confirm subjects during the application process at your home university. After arriving, you can amend your enrolment with the instructions above if your home university supports the changes.

Understanding My Study

In the My Study tile, coursework students can complete the following enrolment tasks: - Manage your course(s) - Plan your study - Enrol in your subjects - Withdraw from a subject.

  • You will have allocations for your core subjects and your optional subjects.

    There are groupings in your study plan for major(s), electives, breadths, as well as for minors and specialisations where applicable. These groupings can be expanded to reveal subjects or further groupings.

    There may be sections of your study plan where you are required to select a subject or major, and some options may be pre-selected.

    • Planned is the default status, and refers to subjects that you have added to your study plan but have not yet allocated to a study period or enrolled in. These are subjects you are either:
      • Required to study (core subjects), or
      • Have chosen and are intending to study (electives, options or selectives).
    • Not enrolled refers to a subject that has been added to a study period but not yet enrolled in
    • Enrolled refers to subjects you are currently enrolled in (currently studying or will be studying in the next study period)
    • Passed refers to subjects you have successfully completed that now contribute to your course completion
    • Exempt lines on your study plan refer to credit that you have been granted for prior learning (Advanced Standing). This credit is not specifically related to a subject on your plan, but rather a number of credit points that will contribute to your course completion.
    • Failed refers to a subject you have undertaken but have not passed. Failed subjects do not contribute to your course completion.

Making changes to your study plan in my.unimelb

If you change your mind or your circumstances change and you need to add or remove subjects in your study plan, you can do this yourself. Before making any changes, ensure you have read the enrolment requirements and key dates information on this page.

  • You can change your subject selections in my.unimelb. While your subjects are still marked as ‘Planned’:

    1. Go to My Study > Manage my course
    2. Locate the subject you want to remove
    3. Click on the arrow button located on the far right-hand side of the screen that’s aligned with the subject you want to remove
    4. Click Remove (you must click on the word ‘Remove’, not the blank space near the word).
    5. The subject will then be removed from your study plan.

    If you are enrolled in a subject and wish to swap to another subject, you will need to first follow the instructions to withdraw from the subject you no longer wish to take, before enrolling in the new subject.

  • If you have already enrolled in subjects for the current or upcoming semester, withdrawing from a subject will un-enrol you from it. You may choose to withdraw from a subject if you want to change subjects, reduce your study load or take a leave of absence. If you withdraw from all your subjects before the census date you need to apply for leave or deferral depending on when you started your course to avoid being cancelled from your course.

Enrolment requirements

Before using your Study Plan, it is important to:

  • Understand your course requirements and plan your course to ensure you are meeting the rules for your degree. Failing to meet your course requirements will impact your eligibility to graduate. Ensure you check the rules for your course using the Handbook and see the how to plan your course page if you need help with planning your course or subjects.
  • Understand your enrolment requirements, which includes maintaining an appropriate study load and applying for leave if you intend to take a break. Failing to meet your enrolment requirements may lead to having your course enrolment cancelled.
  • Student visa holders, ensure you meet the requirements of your student visa as failing to do so can impact your course enrolment and visa status.
  • Check your subject key dates as listed below. Making changes after your subject key dates may impact your fees and academic record.
  • If you are in a Commonwealth Supported Place or in an Australian Full-fee paying place and accessing a HELP loan, be aware that the Australian Government’s Student Learning Entitlement requirement may apply.

Key dates

There are four critical dates you must keep in mind to manage your study program. Dates vary between subjects so it’s important to check these dates for each of your subjects in the Handbook:

  • The teaching period indicates when teaching occurs. Aim to be enrolled by the start of the teaching period so you can create your timetable and be ready to attend classes. If you enrol in a subject after teaching has started, promptly catch up on the content already covered.  Many subjects build on the earlier content, and it’s assumed students are across this content.

  • The last self-enrol date is the final date you can enrol in or change subjects via your study plan. In limited circumstances you can get assistance to enrol after the self-enrol date and before the census date.

    After this date:

    • Late enrolment is not recommended, and you must catch up on any missed content
    • You can email your subject coordinator (find their details in the Handbook) to seek written approval to enrol late
    • If approved, submit an Enrolment Assistance Form (EAF) and attached the approved email (PDF version preferred) within 72 hours of obtaining the approval. In the approved email PDF attachment, please make sure the following is included:
      • Date and time
      • Student and coordinator email addresses
      • Subject codes/titles
      • Clear approval for late enrolment stated by the coordinator.
    • Enrolling after the census date is not possible, even with subject coordinator approval
    • Note: The Faculty of Business and Economics does not approve enrolment in subjects after Friday of Week 3, even with subject coordinator approval.

  • The subject census date is the last date you can withdraw from a subject, withdraw from your course, or apply for a leave of absence without remaining liable to pay fees for the subject, and without it appearing on your academic transcript and statements. Enrolment after the census date is not possible, even if you have approval from the subject coordinator.

    If you are in a Commonwealth Supported Place or an Australian Full-fee paying place and accessing a HELP loan, the Australian Government’s Student Learning Entitlement requirement may apply if you are enrolled in a subject past its census date.

    Before this date you need to check your study plan to ensure it accurately reflects what you are studying by ensuring:

    • Subjects you are undertaking appear on your study plan marked as ‘enrolled’ and not ‘planned’
    • You have withdrawn from any subjects you do not intend to take, and that these no longer show as enrolled on your study plan once withdrawn
    • If you have decided to take a break from your studies, you have applied for a leave of absence by your earliest subject census date.
    • If you are a new student and have decided to delay starting your course, you have applied to defer by your earliest subject census date.

  • The last date to withdraw without fail is the final date you can withdraw from a subject without receiving a fail grade on your academic transcript and statements. After this date, it is not possible to formally withdraw from a subject via your study plan, and if you stop attending classes and submitting assessments for the subject you will be awarded the grade for the assessment piece(s) already submitted.

Troubleshooting

Helpful resources to help you solve common enrolment issues:

  • Check the attendance mode matches with the handbook entry for your subject (e.g. ‘online’ or ‘on campus’).
  • Empty study plan
  • Requisite waivers
  • Credit for prior learning (Advanced Standing)
  • Accessibility mode - Accessibility mode is a new feature for students using screen readers. Clicking on the Accessibility icon will immediately turn it on but you need to take additional steps to turn it off. Logging off and on again will not turn off Accessibility mode. To turn off Accessibility mode:
    1. Login to my.unimelb
    2. Click Student tools quicklink
    3. Click the three dots in the top right hand corner
    4. Click Settings
    5. Click Change to standard mode.

If you are unable to enrol in a subject or adjust your study plan (major, minor or specialisation), you can submit an Enrolment Assistance Form.

Next steps: Creating your timetable

Once you’ve enrolled in your subjects and class timetabling is open, you can select your preferred class times for each study period using MyTimetable. Enrolment changes may take up to 24 hours to appear in MyTimetable. Check timetable dates here.
