Some subjects may have prerequisites (subject to be completed before another subject) or co-requisites (subject to be done at the same time as another). These have been built in to your subject selection to ensure you are following the correct course progression. 

You can check a subject pre/co-requisite by clicking on the subject name in the Register for classes screen 

If you have applied to your Program Director and been approved for a pre/co-requisite waiver, please request a manual enrolment form and submit this with the email approval to Student Services. 

If your preferred class is full, we recommend that you select another class time. You can also choose the option to go on a waitlist.

Waitlist process:

• Choose 'Waitlist' from the class drop down option and click Submit.
• If you choose to waitlist for a class:
  • you will be added to the waitlist in order of the date and time you clicked Submit
  • there may be other students ahead of you on the waitlist
  • there is no guarantee that you will be able to enrol in this class time
  • you are not yet enrolled in the class and will not be charged for the subject
• It is only once you have confirmed that you are registered in the class that you are enrolled and charged the subject fee.

If a place becomes available in the class: 

A notification will be sent to your student email account. You must follow the instructions, within the time frame indicated in the email, to register for the class. Please note: you will usually have between 24 and 48 hours to do this.

If you do not register in time, or choose not to go in to the class, the place will go to the next student on the waitlist. You will then need to select another class option.

What if the class is still full when the study period starts? 

You will stay on the waitlist until after census date when you will no longer be able to select that class. We recommend you select another class time (if there is an option) before trimester starts.
