Deleting a Unit of Study

You can delete a Unit of Study from your pre-enrolment up until 4 January 2008. After this date, variations must be made through your Faculty. Please make sure that you do not delete all your units of study at the same time (unless you want to completely "unpre-enrol").

Deleting a Unit of Study must comply with your Faculty rules. Most international students are required to enrol in 24 credit points in each semester; however, this requirement does not apply in some circumstances. Contact the International Office for further information.
