Conditions of Enrolment

All coursework students enrol online via Access Adelaide

Compliance with rules

Students enrolling online, are required to agree to the following declaration.  Students who do not agree to the declaration may not enrol:
'I agree to abide by the Statutes, Regulations, Rules and Policies and such other conditions as may be stipulated by the University from time to time.
I understand that the University is required to release details of my enrolment and other student information (including academic performance) to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), and/or the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), and /or the Australian Taxation Office, and/or Centrelink, and/or the State Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology (DFEEST).
If I am an international student, I understand that these reports may have implications for my student visa.
The University of Adelaide will not otherwise disclose such information without my consent unless required or authorised by law or to reduce the threat to the life or safety of any person, as outlined in the University's Privacy Policy.
I understand that if any of the information provided by me is subsequently found to be incomplete, incorrect or misleading, the University may elect to terminate my enrolment from a date to be determined by the University, or deem my enrolment to be void from the date of enrolment without any liability on the part of the University. The University is not obliged to reimburse any costs and expenses I have paid or incurred as a consequence of my enrolment.'

Compliance with Academic Program Rules/Approval of Enrolment

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 available online at www.adelaide.edu.au/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.

Availability of courses

All courses offered in a particular year can be viewed on the Course Planner (http://access.adelaide.edu.au/courses/search.asp. If in any semester/year, 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 students wishing to enrol 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 enrolments in individual courses in accordance with Academic Program Rules.

Repeating a course

No student shall repeat a course already passed except where:
a) A higher classification of pass is necessary to enable the student to satisfy pre-requisite course requirements for a higher level course
b) A student needs to convert a conceded pass to a higher level pass in order to qualify for an award
c) The Academic Program Rules for an award provide for a course to be repeated.
For rules on any exemptions available, or enrolment restrictions, refer to the relevant Academic Program Rules.

Amendment to Enrolment

Subject to the requirements of their academic program, students may amend their enrolment to add or drop a course via Access Adelaide.

Adding courses

The last day to add courses online is generally two weeks after the commencement of semester. After this date, students must apply to their course coordinator for permission to enrol using a Course Add form.  Permission to enrol late is at the discretion of the relevant academic area.
Enrolment should be finalised no later than the census date in each semester.

Dropping courses

Students may drop courses at any time during the semester although the dates on which students withdraw from a course can affect the way that the withdrawal is permanently recorded on their academic transcript.
In general, a withdrawal can be:
- Completly deleted from the transcript (if actioned prior to the census data published in Course Planner for that course) or
- Recorded as a Withdraw Not Fail (WNF) (if actioned by the end of the 8th teaching week excluding mid semester break) or
- Recorded as a Withdraw Fail (WF) (if actioned after the end of the 8th teaching week excluding mid semester break).
A full list of critical dates that affect enrolments is available at www.adelaide.edu.au/student/dates/
Note: For Semester 1 and 2 this equates to the eighth teaching week, but will vary for other semesters/terms.

Program Overloads

Students wishing to undertake more than a standard academic program load (12 units per semester) are encouraged to consult a Program Adviser. Generally, students are unable to enrol online in more than 16 units per semester and must obtain the approval of a Program Adviser and their Faculty/School before this upper limit is raised.
Students who undertake an overload and subsequently fail their courses may become subject to the Unsatisfactory Academic Progress by Coursework Students Policy applied each semester.

Enrolment by prescribed date

All enrolments must be finalised by the relevant census date in each semester and students will incur a financial liability for any courses in which they are enrolled at this date. Enrolments after the census date will not be accepted unless students are able to demonstrate that there are exceptional circumstances.
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 approach their faculty for advice.
