Academic progress - Planning your studies

Plan your enrolment

The University provides a wide range of information about Enrolments and support for students to plan and manage their course.

This information is useful at the start of your studies, so that you can plan your course. It is also useful if your circumstances change and you wish to vary your enrolment or to intermit your studies.

To plan effectively,

• contact your course or enrolment adviser
• make sure you are aware of the expected study load for each unit, and understand the expectations for each level of study
• read the Unit Guide for each unit at the start of each Trimester
• make sure you are aware of the census dates for each Trimester, i.e: the last dates on which you may withdraw from units of study without penalty. Please refer to the Handbook for more information
• allow enough time to hand in assignments and for exam preparation

Study skills

Seek assistance with your study skills so that you can pass your units.

The Division of Student Life also offers a range of free workshops to help you with language, referencing, essay writing and exam preparation.

Know where to get support

Seek support early if you are experiencing study or personal difficulties. The ‘Support’ section on this web site provides a range of tips and services that the University offers.
