Changing course or major

[Print-friendly version]

Offers of admission to commencing students specify the course of study and major for which the offer is made. You are required to enrol in and complete at least the first teaching period according to that offer. Some courses require students to nominate their major after the completion of their first year of study. If you are required to nominate a major after your first year of study you will be able to do so via your Online Enrolment portlet.

Change of course

Change of course is only approved where the applicant satisfies all conditions for admission to the new course. You are advised to lodge the relevant application form as early as possible. Closing dates are given in the relevant application form. You can also use the key dates search facility to find the relevant closing dates.
