Ten Steps to Enrolment

Step three: find out about your course structure

The enrolment process begins with a compulsory information session which commences at the enrolment times as per your offer message. Please allow approximately an hour and a half for this. After you have attended this session, you will be able to enrol online. Completing all the enrolment requirements including enrolling in units will constitute an acceptance of the offer you have been made. On the day of enrolment, you must bring your VTAC offer.

Planning Your Course

Before attending your enrolment session you should make sure you are familiar with your course structure and requirements.  A detailed outline of all law courses is available at the Faculty of Law web site at First degrees in Law. You should also refer to your course map for assistance in planning your enrolment.

This information is also available online in the university’s Undergraduate Handbook 2008. A hard copy can be purchased from the University Bookshop (Building 10, Clayton campus).

Students should also refer to the units available in later years and check on any corequisites (units which must be taken with your chosen units) and prerequisites (units which need to be completed prior to undertaking other units in later years of the course) set out in the unit entries in the handbook. Most disciplines require certain prerequisites for progression to the next semester or year level. Students are also encouraged to approach faculty offices, academic staff and departmental offices for advice regarding the units taught by the relevant faculty/department.

It is stressed that it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the units chosen satisfy course requirements and degree regulations. The electronic versions of the Undergraduate Handbook 2008 and faculty regulations will be updated as necessary to reflect any amendments.

Coursework programs normally have a particular and pre-determined course structure although different courses have different requirements. In some courses you have core requirements – special units or disciplines – that you must complete to meet the requirements of your course and qualify to graduate.
