Current students
All current students go on-line to enrol through studentConnect (undergraduate and postgraduate).
New students
All new students will be advised of the enrolment period in their offer letters. These letters will be delivered by courier in mid-January. Enrolment will be in January or February 2010. You will be advised in your offer pack of the enrolment day for your course.
Lapsed/Discontinued students
If your enrolment status through studentConnect shows as Lapsed or Discontinued and you are still within the time limit of your degree, you will need to complete the Application for Readmission Form from the Student Administration website. Following the decision of the Faculty of Law, Student Administration will advise you of the outcome and, if you are successful, how to enrol for 2010.
Rule 1.2.1.33(1) covers time limits for completion of courses, whether taken on a full-time or part-time basis.
Units to enrol in
Undergraduate students
-
There are suggested course pathways for completing your course in the minimum amount of time. These pathways usually include semesters that are overloaded or more than the standard full-time enrolment of four units per semester. If you are part-time, just enrol in the next one or two units listed.
Postgraduate students
- Postgraduate students may enrol in any of the option units provided that they are part of your course.
- Course rules for postgraduate courses can be accessed through the Handbooks.
- Postgraduate Option Units
- Doctor of Juridical Science: compulsory research units, option units
- Graduate Diploma/Master's in Criminal Justice
Summer session units
The Faculty of Law runs units over the summer in January and February.
To enrol in this just add the unit during the re-enrolment period. Select "S" for Summer in the semester code.
Invalid units
When you enrol online in a unit and it is identified as invalid, check whether you meet all the prerequisites. If you do not meet all the prerequisites you should either withdraw from the unit or seek special approval from the Faculty office.
You should still attend lectures, laboratory and tutorial classes marked as invalid until you've received advice from the Faculty.
Quota restricted units
If you have enrolled in either of the two quota-restricted units (Negotiation and Mediation or Forensic Advocacy), INVALID will remain on your enrolment until the class list is determined by Faculty administration.
Changing your enrolment
In the majority of cases, you can change your enrolment online through studentConnect. For further details, including relevant cut-off dates, consult the UWA handbooks.
Further information on undergraduate transfers is available on the Student Administration website.
Deferring your studies
If you are planning to take time off, and are not enrolled for any part of an academic year, you must fill out an Approved Leave form on the Student Adminstration website. Submit the form to the Faculty office or to Student Administration.
Planning to study at another university in Australia
The faculty policy on cross-institutional study outlines what you need to do before being able to study units cross-institutionally. You will see that other than in exceptional circumstances (such as temporary or permanent relocation interstate):
- you will not be permitted to complete more than two units cross-institutionally
- you will not be permitted to complete any core units cross-institutionally
- you will not be permitted to enrol in a unit at another institution within the State where that unit or a similar unit is offered at UWA.
Once approved, you need to ensure you are enrolled at UWA and the host university. The codes to use are on the back of the form. Most often, Law students will use the code ENRL3003.
You will not be able to add the cross-institutional unit code to your enrolment online through studentConnect. If you will be studying at UWA for part of the year, you can re-enrol online and add in the units you will be studying at UWA. You will then need to obtain a change of enrolment form from Student Administration to add the cross-institutional code.
If you enrolment in the year is all cross-institutional you will need to obtain a hard copy enrolment form from Student Administration. If you can't make it to Student Administration in person, they can arrange your change of enrolment by fax or e-mail.
Going on exchange to study overseas
Once you have visited the Student Exchange Office, have carefully considered the Faculty information on law exchange and the exchange units you wish to study have been approved by the Faculty exchange academic advisor, you must ensure you are enrolled at UWA and your host institution.
Add the exchange units to your enrolment using a hard copy change of enrolment form from Student Administration, using the code which correlates with the number of UWA equivalent points you will be studying on Exchange:
- EXCH0929 equates to 12 UWA points
- EXCH0919 equates to 18 UWA points
- EXCH0909 equates to 24 UWA points
- EXCH0959 equates to 30 UWA points
If you are going on exchange for the whole year, you need to enrol in both semesters using the hard copy enrolment form from Student Administration.
If you are studying overseas for one semester, enrol in the appropriate semester for the exchange unit using the hard copy enrolment form and online for UWA units in the other semester.
If you cannot make it to Student Administration in person, they can arrange your enrolment via fax or e-mail.
Timetables
To register for laboratory and tutorial classes, use the online class registration system (OLCR). This is available a few weeks before the start of each semester. If any of your units do not allow for online class registration, you will need to visit the relevant discipline or School office or attend your first lecture for more information.
Use online timetables for all other information related to classes. If you can't find information for your unit, contact the school which teaches that unit.
