Summer & Winter School Non-Award Courses

What is Non-Award Study?

The University of Adelaide offers a range of courses that are available for study on a Non-Award basis. It is possible to study individual courses at the University of Adelaide for personal interest or professional development, outside of the requirements of a university award. Most undergraduate courses offered by the university are available to be undertaken as non-award study. Non-award students undertake the same studies and assessment as award students, i.e. students who are undertaking the course through a university award, such as a bachelor degree. 

Non-Award study is a great way to 'test the water' regarding university study. As a Non-Award student you attend lectures and tutorials, and are assessed and examined with students who are completing undergraduate degrees. You may or may not be presently enrolled in a University degree course, and may wish to undertake assessment for interest, or to obtain credit points toward a current or future qualification.

How to Enrol & Amend your Enrolment

Individuals who are not university students and want to undertake summer or winter semester study on a non-award basis should complete a Non-Award Application and Enrolment Form, and can drop courses by submitting an enrolment amendment form with the relevant faculty.

International Non-Award students are required to meet the same standards of English proficiency as any student seeking admission to academic programs at the University of Adelaide. Students are expected to be proficient in speaking, reading, listening to and writing English. Further details are available here.
