Enrolment requirements

Full-time study

You must study full-time to ensure you are compliant with your student visa responsibilities. A full-time study load is 24 credit points each session, or 18 credit points per trimester. Credit points are the measure of workload allocated to subjects studied.

Some overseas universities require that their students enrol in no less than 24 credits points while studying at UOW – check with your home university’s Study Abroad and Exchange Office if you are unsure about your own University’s requirements.

Study plans

You would have submitted a proposed study plan when completing your online application, which was assessed (or is being assessed) by the relevant UOW faculty. If you need to add additional subjects, you can log into the Student Mobility Online (SMO) portal any time in the lead up to session.

Subject enrolment

Prior to the commencement of session you'll receive instructions on how to enrol in your UOW subjects. Please only enrol in subjects approved on your study plan.

If you are waiting for approval, please contact the Office of Global Student Mobility before enrolling in the subject. If you have been rejected for a subject, you must NOT enrol in that subject. Subject appeals will be considered within reason and if you wish to appeal a decision on your study plan, please email the Office of Global Student Mobility to enquire.

Remember, it is your responsibility to submit all your subjects for assessment through your online study plan by the second week of classes. If you are enrolled in an unapproved subject after the second week of classes your enrolment will be cancelled. 

Please refer to planning you academic program for more information on choosing subjects.
