What happens on enrolment day?

Attendance

You must attend in person. Parents or other friends/relatives will not be permitted to enrol on your behalf. Your attendance on enrolment day will most likely take around two hours. You will receive advice about planning your course, timetable and other information to help you get started with your degree. You will also be able to attend the International Arrival Festival, where there will be live music, information stalls and Library tours.

Choosing your subjects

Faculties either run information sessions on enrolment day to assist you with your subject selection or have academic advisers available to offer one-to-one assistance to choose your subjects. On enrolment day you should arrive at the time indicated for your degree so that you have sufficient time to collect your enrolment package and move onto the relevant venue.

Subject Numbers

Subject numbers indicate the level and course code of the subject. For example:

• BIOL103         100 level          1st year subject
• BIOL213         200 level          2nd year subject
• BIOL970         900 level          postgraduate subject

Undergraduate students can undertake subjects at any level, in any particular year, providing you have met the prerequisites for that subject.  For example, in your third year of study you may be taking 100-level and 200-level subjects as well as 300-level subjects.
