Getting Started

When you log in to pre-enrol, the first thing you must do is follow a simple, step-by-step process in order to update your Statistical and Disability information. Once this process is complete, you will see a screen listing available course/s into which you can pre-enrol. Some courses will require that you select a Major before continuing to the next step of your pre-enrolment.

When you have selected the course into which you wish to pre-enrol, the next pre-enrolment screen will display your name, student number, course description and course code. There will also be several fields available for you to load your Unit of Study choices into.

Once you have loaded your pre-enrolment choices in the Unit of Study fields, you will notice that other pre-enrolment details will display on the screen such as Unit of Study descriptions, Status, Credit Points, Subject Areas, Attendance Patterns and Session.

If you want information about when you must lodge your initial pre-enrolment by and when you can then vary your pre-enrolment choices until, please contact your faculty.

You can make up to 20 allowed variations to your pre-enrolment on the Web. Please note that a variation is counted each time you receive a 'successful save' message. An 'unsuccessful save' message is not counted as a variation. The number of variations remaining is shown on the pre-enrolment page under your course information. If you try to make more than 20 variations, an error message will display and you will need to contact your faculty office.

The seven 'action' buttons across the pre-enrolment screen are:

Add Unit of Study Click to add each new Unit of Study
Save Changes Click to save the changes you have made
Reset Changes Click to reset and lose all but your last saved changes
Majors Click to modify the majors selections for your course (if available)
Standard Program Click to enrol in a standard program for your course (if available)
Course TRansfer Click to transfer to another course (if available)
Course TRansfer Click to perform a transfer to another course
Email Click to email your pre-enrolment details to your e-mail address

Your Unit of Study descriptions are linked to the corresponding entry in the Unit of Study Database. If you click on a Unit of Study description you will be directed to a new browser window. When you have finished looking at the Unit of Study Database and wish to return to the pre-enrolment screen, simply close the new window.

Before saving a Unit of Study you can edit the Session and Subject Area. After saving a Unit of Study, you can only edit its Subject Area. To edit the Session after saving, you must drop the Unit of Study and add a new one.

Shown below are further specific help topics to help guide you through pre-enrolment on the Web. Please take the time to read them and refer back to them if you have any problems.
