Re-enrol
Welcome back! If you enrolled in honours in semester 2 you will be required to re-enrol during the end of year re-enrolment period.
Don’t forget to check your timetable before enrolling!
Your timetable is important because you will need to attend a number of lectures, tutorials, labs, and workshops for each unit. The timetable website lets you see how your potential unit choices could be scheduled; it does not register you for classes. After enrolment you will use the online Class Allocation System (CAS) to register for classes. If you are unable to find information for your unit on CAS or the timetable, contact the Science Student Office.
If you need a refresher on how to register for classes you may find the CAS information and video guide provided by Student Services helpful.
Does your unit show as invalid? Need to change your enrolment? Defer you studies? We have enrolment information to help you.
