What happens after I select subjects and register for classes? 

After you successfully register in your classes, you should expect to receive your invoice via your Office 365 student email. Invoices are sent to all students, upfront paying or FEE-HELP. You will see the fee amount and due date on the invoice. 

Check the full instructions at the Student Portal page.

In your Student Portal, you can:

• withdraw from (or drop) a subject
• change to another class time

Check the full instructions at the Student Portal page.

What if I can't drop or change a subject?

There are instances where you may not be able to drop or change a class yourself.

This will happen if:

• you are trying to drop the only subject
• Student Services manually enrolled you in the subject

In these cases, you will need to contact student services or submit either of the following Torrens University forms or Think Education forms.

• Application for Withdrawal 
• Application for Timetable Change 

Now you can check which classes you are registered in, and print your schedule.

Steps

1. Navigate to the Student Landing Page.
2. Click Subject Selection.
3. Click View Registration Information.
4. Review your schedule.

You can also print your timetable by clicking on the Printer button (in the top right hand corner).

As an international student, you'll need to keep these important visa requirements in mind.

As per the National Code 2018 visa requirements, you must:

• Maintain full-time enrolment each trimester, which means enrolling into eight subjects per year.
• Only study a maximum of one-third or 33% of your course online
• Complete your course within the timeframe listed on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)

It is also highly recommended that you follow your Course Structure. This will allow you to finish your course within the timeframe listed on your CoE.

If you have any questions on what subjects to select, chat with your Success Coach.

Students are reminded to seek advice from the Department of Home Affairs (Immigration) prior to making any variations on their enrolment as this may impact your Visa.

For Student Visa Changes due to COVID please refer to the below “I am an International Student” section.
