Add or discontinue units

To add or discontinue units:

  • Use the Web Enrolment System (WES)
  • See WES access dates for when the system is open.
    • or
  • Submit an Enrolment Amendment form, available from your faculty office. Use the form when WES isn't available or when you cannot discontinue online (eg. for a research, non-award or study abroad unit).

To avoid academic and financial penalties see:

Adding units

Discontinuing units

TimingRestriction
Before census date Academic penalties may apply to some teaching periods. See census dates and teaching periods
After census date Academic and financial penalties apply. See unit discontinuation penalties. The University will not backdate your changes to avoid payment or academic penalties unless we have made a proven error

Other teaching periods

Use WES to change units in semesters one and two, full-year, terms and trimesters. Units in other teaching periods have to be discontinued manually. Contact your faculty about this.

Effect on course fees

See access your fee statement.

Study load

For information on time limits to finish your course, see study load and attendance.

International students

International students on a student visa must enrol in 48 credit points per academic year, unless you have permission to underload. For more information, see underloading.

When using WES to discontinue a unit, you must add a replacement unit before clicking the submit button (to ensure you meet the required credit points) or the system will not allow you to submit your enrolment.
