How do I find out what subjects are on offer this trimester?

Subjects available for study in the next Study Period, are available within the Subject Selection Tool located within your My Account. Please note: Not all subjects are offered every Study Period. 

I want to enrol into a subject but cannot see it on the timetable, what do I do?

If a subject is not available for you to enrol in it is usually because it is not being offered within the study period.

You will need to select another subject within your course.

If no alternatives can be selected, contact Your Success Coach for further advice.

I want to enrol in a subject but it is full, what do I do?

If you find that the subject you wish to enrol into is full, you may have the ability to select waitlist. If you have selected the waitlist option, you will be contacted with any potential updates or new spaces available. To avoid disappointment, we recommend selecting a class with remaining spaces.

Log in to My Account and go to your Personal Account section to find all of your CAN documents.

Can I get a copy of my invoice?

Yes. Invoices are available in the Personal Account section of your My Account. Select Fees from the list available to bring up all invoices and credit notes that have been issued to you during your studies. When you enrol into a new subject, you will receive a new invoice.

What is a credit note?

A credit note is formal advice that you no longer need to pay the invoice you were issued for that subject.

You will only receive a credit note if you change your enrolment, such as changing subjects or withdrawing from a subject.

When is Census Date?

Visit the Key Dates page for Census and other important dates.

Who does census date apply to?

Census Date applies to domestic students enrolled in FEE-HELP or VET Student Loan enabled courses only.

Census Date does not apply to International students. Please see more information on the International student page

Please contact Student Services if you have any further questions.

How many subjects should I enrol in?

International students are required to study full time

Students are expected to maintain a full-time study load, which means enrolling in at least three subjects per study period, unless on an approved leave of absence.

Your Course Structure will show the typical subject load for your course. For most students this is 8 subjects per year.

How many online subjects can I choose?

In total, international students can study up to one third or 33% of their course online.

International students must always maintain a minimum of one on campus subject enrolment  per study period. Online subjects should be spread across the length of your course and not taken all in one trimester together.

I won't finish my course by my end date, how do I update it?

The maximum time for you to complete your course will be stated on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

We may extend your course duration if:

• there are compassionate or compelling circumstances
• you have been identified as at risk of not meeting the course progression requirements and Torrens has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, an intervention strategy
• you have had a Leave of Absence approved. See more about enrolment changes on the International Students page.

If you need an extension to your CoE, contact Student Services
