It’s time to start thinking about your subjects for 2022. There are a few steps you need to take and we’ve put together some information to help you.
Enrolling in subjects
You can enrol in your subjects for Autumn/Trimester 1 2022 from 22 November 2021.
While subject enrolments will be open from 22 November, the Autumn and associated session timetables will be released on 13 December. Normally the timetable is released a bit earlier.
So why are we releasing the timetable later than normal? Students have told us they don’t like it when the timetable changes as it makes it harder to plan their classes around other commitments. Releasing the timetable later will mean less changes to classes, and less disruption for students. You can still enrol in your subjects as normal, but you won’t be able to see the days and times of your classes until the timetable is released.
1. How to choose your subjects
To see which subjects you need to complete, you need to refer to the Course Handbook for the year your commenced your course. The Course Handbook outlines the requirements of your course including subjects, majors, minors, or specialisations.
If you commenced your course in 2021
Search for your course using the new Course Handbook and make sure you are using the 2021 (not 2022) version. If you get stuck the Handbook User Guide provides instructions about how to use the new handbook, or you can check out the FAQs.
If you commenced your course prior to 2021
Course Handbooks prior to 2021 can be found here. Please note these handbooks contain links to outdated subject information, so you’ll need to use the new handbook for information about your subjects in 2022.
2. Find out which subjects are being offered in 2022
No matter when you started your degree, you’ll need to use the new Course Handbook to find information about subjects in 2022. We’ve put together some easy steps to help you through this process. You’ll also be able to see which session/s and campus a subject is on offer when you enrol via SOLS.
3. Re-enrol:
- Log in to SOLS and select ‘Enrolment and Variations’ from the left hand menu
- Enter the subject code in the space provided (some subjects are offered in more than one session. Be sure to select the correct session); and
- Click ‘add subject’.
For more information on how to enrol in subjects visit the UOW website.
Restricted course status:
If you are on a restricted course status, you will need to make an appointment with your Faculty to get academic advice and approval before you can re-enrol. Contact Student Services to make an appointment. If you are on a pending course status and awaiting the result of a subject from a previous session, you should still enrol into at least one subject.
Leave of Absence:
If you do not wish to study in 2022 but want to keep your place in your course open, you should apply for a Leave of Absence.
Next steps
Check the Timetable
You can check the Timetable and start to map out your classes when the timetable is released on 13 December. We’ll remind you when it is released.
Enrol in tutorials
Groups and opening times for tutorials will appear in SOLS via the ‘Tutorial Enrolment’ link a couple of weeks prior to the opening date. Opening dates and times vary for each Faculty and subject. To find out your subject opening times, you can visit the Tutorial Opening Times website and click on your Faculty.
Please check your SOLS page regularly to ensure the opening dates and times for your tutorial enrolments are not missed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Student Services.
