Information for Current StudentsEnrolment Information SessionsWednesday 27th January and Thursday 28th January we will be holding enrolment advice sessions for commencing (new) students. Times and locations. Enrolment information for continuing students will be posted out via snail mail in early December - make sure your address is correct and up-to-date on Access Adelaide. The University's Enrolment website is a helpful source of information on how to enrol, enrolment opening times and enrolment FAQs. Course Planner is where you search for courses and timetable information. It is important to plan a clash-free timetable before you try to enrol, as the online enrolment system will not allow you to enrol in classes which are held at the same time. Check your student email regularly, as we will be using this method of communication to give you important information during the enrolment period, and throughout the academic year. Degree PlansPre-2008 Degree PlansAs a result of a University wide decision to introduce 3 unit courses at every level from 2009, our degree structures changed. If you began your degree before 2008, you will complete your degree under a transition arrangement. We have provided copies of our pre-2008 degree templates below so you can work out where you are up to in completing your program. Please come and visit us in the Faculty Office, or email us, if you would like us to complete a degree plan for you that will clarify what you need to do to finish your degree. Here's more information if you are interested in the rationale for the curriculum restructure or would like to know a little about the background of these changes.
