Enrol as a continuing student

If you're currently enrolled and continuing your studies next year, you'll need to re-enrol before the academic year starts.

Returning from a break

Step 1: Select your units early

Most continuing coursework students will be able to select Semester 1 and 2 units of study early. While you can make changes to your units later, planning and selecting your units early can help you plan your degree.

To select your units log in to Sydney Student, go to My studies > Units of study.

You still need to come back and confirm your units when you re-enrol as part of Step 2.

<p>When you select your units early, you may be prompted to complete an enrolment exception request or departmental permission request. If your application is dependent on a result, you may need to wait until after results are released to receive an outcome.&nbsp;</p>

Step 2: Check when enrolment opens

Re-enrolment will include checking and confirming your contact details, finalising any financial arrangements and, for many students, selecting/confirming units of study for the year.

We will email you when it's time to complete your re-enrolment. For coursework students, this will usually be in the days following the release of all of your Semester 2 results.

Sometimes there may be a delay in your enrolment opening. This could be because:

  • you have incomplete results
  • a grade is missing/blank.

In this situation, you'll need to contact your unit of study coordinator to request for your grade to be updated or finalised. Find out more about missing or incomplete results. You should contact us if your enrolment is still not open three weeks before your enrolment deadline.

Enrolment deadline variations

Students enrolled in the following programs may have alternative dates

If you are enrolling in an intensive unit of study, the enrolment deadline may vary.

Bachelor of Laws and Juris Doctor

If you’re eligible to enrol in elective units of study, check your program’s timetable to make sure your class times don’t clash. Note that some of these units also require a special application and have unique eligibility criteria. Check on the Law Canvas website for further information.

Find course information and timetables for your program:

Master's level electives

In your final year you may be eligible to enrol in a maximum of four advanced-level master’s electives, listed in your handbook.

There is a quota of ten Bachelor of Laws and Juris Doctor students for each elective. Enrolment is based on a first-come first-served basis, subject to eligibility requirements, such as relevant industry experience or prior specialist study.

When selecting your master's units, check the timetable to make sure your class times don’t clash. It’s your responsibility to meet all the attendance requirements.

To enrol in a master's unit, you need to fill out the Unit of study selection issues form. There are no waiting lists available if you do not secure a place.

Sydney School of Veterinary Science

If you're a final-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM 4) student, your enrolment must match your placement schedule. For example, you need to be enrolled in the correct units of study in the semester you're undertaking the placement.

Semester fees are linked to the credit points you are enrolled in each semester.

When enrolling you will need to refer to your individual schedule, you can find your schedule along with an enrolment guide in Sonia Online.

Step 3: Submit your enrolment

You can re-enrol online by logging in to Sydney Student, go to My studies > Enrolment.

Make sure you confirm your unit of study selections and complete all the steps of the enrolment task so you don’t risk losing your place in your course. Having access to Canvas or your timetable does not necessarily mean you are currently enrolled.

Once you've completed the enrolment task, we will send an email confirmation to your University student email.
