How do I decide what to enrol in?
If you are enrolling or re-enrolling into a course, you need to check your course structure and recommended study plan, which are listed on the Courses website - located within each individual course, for example, the Bachelor of Nursing.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you complete the requirements of your course as specified in your course rule. Charles Darwin University does not guarantee that any enrolment represents the shortest path to the completion of any course.
If you are a higher education student and have a place in an undergraduate award or postgraduate by coursework award, or received an offer from SATAC, or have an approved Leave of Absence you can re-enrol online using My Student Info.
If you are a Vocational Education and Training (VET) student you cannot enrol on-line and are required to submit a VET101 VET Enrolment.
Once I received an offer into a course, can I enrol online?
New domestic students in a higher education course-work course can enrol online using My Student Info. This has instructions on activating your student account. Or view instructions on how to enrol.
What is a Commonwealth-Supported Place?
A Commonwealth-Supported Place is a higher education place for which the commonwealth makes a contribution towards the cost of your education. The Australian Government allocates a number of Commonwealth-Supported Places to eligible higher education providers each year.
You are a Commonwealth-Supported student if you meet the eligibility requirements (see www.goingtouni.gov.au/Main/FeesLoansAndScholarships/Undergraduate/Default.htm#3) and are enrolled in a unit of study that is commonwealth supported. If you are enrolled in a unit of study as a Commonwealth-Supported student, you will generally be required to contribute to the cost of your education through a student contribution. Your higher education provider sets the student contribution amount that you are required to pay.
If you are not enrolled in a unit of study as a Commonwealth-Supported student, you will be required to pay the full tuition fee set by your higher education provider. However, you may be eligible for FEE-HELP assistance to help pay your tuition fees. See below for more information on FEE-HELP.
You need to be enrolled in a course before you can add any units to your enrolments, please refer to the Higher Education Student Guide or the VET Student Guide.
I have submitted my enrolment, or change of enrolment. What happens next?
In a given assessment period, when units are added or withdrawn a new Enrolment and Fees Advice is produced and sent to the student. You may be contacted if the change will affect your course progression negatively, and advised accordingly either by phone or email.
I am enrolled in an Open University Australia unit and the university which has sent me the materials advises that I can defer from the unit, is this true?
If you enrol in an OUA unit with Charles Darwin University you cannot defer your unit. You are still required to make payment of your fees, or withdraw from the unit before the relevant census date.
How do I withdraw from a unit?
Higher education students can withdraw from units up to the census date for the relevant semester or study period without incurring any academic or financial liability. Students can withdraw from units online using My Student Info, submit a Higher Education Change of Enrolment Form, or send an email to student.admin@cdu.edu.au.
VET students in 2007 cannot make changes online and must submit a VET102 Change of Enrolment/Complete Cancellation, or send an email to student.admin@cdu.edu.au.
Are there any deadlines by when to withdraw from a unit?
If you are a higher education student, the last date to withdraw from a unit is the census date for that unit. Each semester has its own census dates - you should make yourself familiar with these dates.
Can I withdraw from units after the census date?
If there are extenuating circumstances that were not known on or after a census date for a unit, you may make an application to withdraw from a unit. The dean or delegate of the relevant faculty will determine if your withdrawal should be with (WF grade) or without (WW grade) academic penalty.
Regardless of the academic outcome, you will remain financially liable for payment of the fees.
You will be sent information on how you can make an Application for Remission of HECS Debt. Please note that in all cases you will be asked to provide supporting information from an independent person.
Can I withdraw from units after I have already attended classes?
VET students who have attended classes and wish to withdraw from those units will still be financially liable for payment of student fees, for withdrawals lodged after the relevant withdrawal date, which is 14 days after the commencement of the unit, unless the University has cancelled the unit for all students.
Higher education students have up to the census date for the relevant semester to withdraw from a unit. However, please do not leave it to the last day, as you will experience delays in the receipt of a new Enrolment and Fees Advice.
