Fitzroy Student Hub: Success coaches

The best people to help you first off are your Course and Career Advisor, or if you are an International Student dealing with an International Recruitment Advisor you can chat to them.

Alternatively, you can jump onto the website and select your courses. Firstly go to the Subject Selection page and choose your course structure. Review the recommended study plan and then select the Subject Selection tool to choose your classes.

As soon as you are enrolled in your course that’s when we can help out, so please get in contact with your Success Coach then.

Not all subjects every trimester are timetabled. Use the recommended study plan to see if there are any electives or other subjects that you can take. If you do need help deciding, then please contact your Success Coach for a suggested revised study plan.

If you find that the classes you want to take are full, please ensure you place yourself on the waiting list. You will receive an email within seven days informing you if there is a place available. Make sure you have a backup subject just in case. Again, if you need support in revising your study plan, contact your Success Coach.

Some subjects have prerequisites because you are required to take subjects in a particular sequence. If you wish to take a subject that is out of sequence then you must get permission from your Program Director.

You can find the list of your Program Directors in your Course page under the Academic team.
