Subject information

To ensure their eligibility for graduation and compliance with regulations, students must refer to the Handbook for the year in which their course commenced. For instance, if a student’s course began in 2020 and the current year is 2023, student’s should consult the 2020 version of the Handbook to determine which subjects to enrol in and for which recommended sessions, in order to progress through their course accurately and efficiently.

It is crucial to obtain subject information based on the year and session of a student’s enrolment into that subject, rather than their course. For instance, if a student commenced their course in 2020 and the current year is 2023, student’s should consult the 2023 version of the subject to access details such as subject availability, enrolment regulations and assessment information. 

Please refer to the instructions in the current year Handbook section on the UOW Handbook homepage when looking for subject availability.
