What information is required in each of the steps
Step 1 – Enrolment declaration
This step is mandatory for all new and continuing students. You must complete this step by clicking on the ’accept’ button. By doing so, you are declaring your acceptance of all the conditions listed on the enrolment declaration page.
Step 2 – Update my email address
All email correspondence sent to students by CDU will be sent to the students’ official CDU email address. If you would like notification of an email sent to your CDU student email you can specify an alternate email address.
Please note that if students choose to use an alternate email address for notification it is their responsibility to ensure that email sent by CDU is received by:
- Actively monitoring the email account
- Ensuring the mail box is not ‘full’
- Ensuring that any spam filtering on the mailbox does not remove CDU mail
- Ensuring the email account is kept active by paying any required subscriptions or accessing often to keep the mailbox active.
Step 3 – Change my contact details
You can use this step to update your current postal address and home, work and mobile phone numbers. All official correspondence will be mailed to this postal address. If you are a new student, this will show the same postal address that you supplied to SATAC. You can also use this step to check and then enter or update your current postal address. Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure that the information recorded by the University for mailing purposes is up-to-date and accurate and that you provide us with your semester address, i.e. the address where you will reside during semesters. The address must not be a PO Box number.
Step 4 – Update my personal statistics
Continuing students use this step to check and update the information we have recorded about your personal statistics. New students use this step to answer any questions that are unanswered. There are 10 questions. You may amend any of your existing answers as necessary except for question two (citizenship status). A change in citizenship or permanent residence status can only be done by providing Student Services with a certified copy of your current visa documentation. All other changes are saved by clicking on the submit button found at the bottom of the page.
Step 5 – Choose my payment option
New students must complete this mandatory step. This step lets you specify if you wish to pay your tuition fees upfront (in full or a part payment) or you wish to defer your tuition fees (in full or in part) to tax.
Continuing students must complete the payment option form if:
- You are currently paying upfront and wish to defer your fees to tax
- You are currently deferring your fees to tax and wish to pay them upfront.
About the payment option form
Please read through each section carefully and answer appropriately.
Sections 1-7 are already pre-populated with your details.
If you are an Australian citizen or are eligible for a HECS-HELP supported place you must complete section 8.
If you are not eligible for a HECS-HELP supported place you must complete section 9.
Section 10 and 11 must be completed by all.
When all sections have been completed, save your changes by clicking on the ‘submit’ button. Your payment option will appear in the table.
Note: You can only make one change online per day to your payment option. You cannot make any changes for a semester after the census date for that semester.
Step 6 – Choose my units to enrol in
All students, new and continuing, must check their course structure and recommended study plan. This will assist you in making correct unit selections for enrolment. New students can use this unit enrolment step to add unit selections for the first time. Continuing students can use this enrolment step to add, change or delete unit selections. View Unit rules for further information, including 'Why can't I enrol in certain units?' and Special unit requirements.
Once you know which units you wish to enrol in for the coming semesters, enter the unit codes separated by a comma (,) and click on the Search button.
Note: If you are selecting units offered by CDU, but managed by Open University Australia (OUA); prefix the unit code with an L- as shown in this example: L-BLW21 COMPANY LAW.
The search will return various unit offering options. You need to choose the correct teaching period; location and mode in which you wish to study the unit by clicking on ‘add’ in the action column, and then clicking on the ‘add to selection’ button. However, when you have to choose electives or special electives you will need to ensure you check unit availability.
