  • Enrolment errors

    Form Description
    Timetable clash resolution Use this form to request a resolution to clashes in your timetable, such as a clash between two lectures and no alternative times.
    Unit overload request Use this form to request enrolment into more than the allowed maximum number of units in a semester (i.e. more than 12 units).
    Prerequisite waiver request Use this form if you have approval from the course coordinator to enrol without a prerequisite.

    Processing of enrolment error forms

    Processing times

    In the four weeks before each semester, more than 1000 enrolment error forms are lodged with the faculty office, therefore significant delays are possible. Please allow five working days for your request to be processed, however in peak times this may be extended. Priority is given to requests submitted for the immediate semester.

    Enrolment priorities

    Please note: The faculty office priority in processing enrolment requests is to enrol students in their chosen courses but, not necessarily, in their chosen classes. As a result you may find that you are not enrolled in your preferred classes or that you have some unwanted timetable clashes.

    In a limited number of cases the faculty office may need to move students between classes to resolve timetable clashes for core courses or to manage unexpected changes to class schedules and staff availability. If your enrolment has to be changed you will be notified via email.

    Successful requests

    If you have been successfully enrolled in your chosen course, this will be shown on your enrolment list in Access Adelaide and you will be notified via email.

    Failed requests

    It is not possible to satisfy every enrolment request. A number of classes have fixed physical constraints that cannot be exceeded without removing other students. If we are unable to enrol you into your chosen course, you will be notified via email.

  • Other enrolment forms

    Other enrolment forms and information for students
    Form Description
    Course add - late For use only when adding courses after the last day to add online. It requires a course coordinator's approval before it can be processed by the faculty office.
    Non-award study Non-award study is a great way to find out what university study is like as the course does not go towards an award (degree). Non-award students attend lectures and tutorials, and are assessed and examined with students who are completing undergraduate degrees. Please read the non-award study enrolment instructions prior to submitting your application.
    Amendment to enrolment

    This form allows most students to request a retrospective change to their enrolment after census and critical dates have passed, to seek either a:

    • result change to Withdraw No Fail (WNF); or
    • course to be added.
    Strict criteria apply.
    Course/Class full Use this form if the course or class you are trying to enrol into is listed as 'full' in Course Planner. If you are requesting enrolment into a full class, you will need to obtain course coordinator approval prior to completing this form.
