Enrolment Support Session

Domestic Students

• Log into our Applications portal.
• Under the ‘Offers’ tab, you will have the option to view and respond to your offer.

Multiple offers
You can accept multiple offers and take your time (up to the census date of the study period) to decide which course you want to pursue. You are only required to pay fees after the census date for your study period, which gives you time to decide on your course and enrol in your units.

Preferences

• If you receive an offer for your highest preference but would like to be considered for your lower preferences, respond to the offer and then reorder your existing preferences. Ensure your preferred course is at the top of the list. You can do this in the 'Manage your application' tab in the Applications portal. If you respond to your first preference offer but don't reorder your preferences, you won't be considered for any other courses you have applied for.
• If you accept an offer for a lower preference, you will continue to be assessed for offers for all higher preferences (according to course entry requirements).

A full-time study load (50 credit points) for one study period can look like this:

• 4 x 12.5 credit point units
• 2 x 25 credit point units

You need formal approval to take an overload (study units worth more than 50 credit points during a single study period).

If you are enrolled in a full-time study load (50 credit points) and you want to enrol in an extra unit for that study period, contact UConnect to discuss your individual circumstances and find out if you are eligible to apply for an overload. If your request is approved, you will be manually enrolled in the extra unit.

Thinking about enrolling in more than one course at the same time?  

• Can I manage the study load? When studying under two courses, your assessment deadlines may overlap. Think carefully about your current commitments (e.g. work or family) and whether you have sufficient time to commit to study.
• Can I withdraw from units if I change my mind? Yes, but you need to know the key dates for the study period you want to enrol in – in particular, the census date and the last date to withdraw without getting a fail result.
• Can I enrol in more than 50 credit points? You need formal approval for an enrolment overload in a single study period or in study periods that overlap. Note - approval for an overload does not guarantee you will receive extensions for assessments. Contact UConnect to discuss your individual circumstances and apply.

You might need a letter confirming your enrolment for organisations such as Centrelink.

Please note that what the University considers full-time study may not be the same as Centrelink's definition - if in doubt, please check with Centrelink about their requirements.

Still having difficulty?
Contact UConnect on 13 8827 (13 UTAS) / +61 3 6226 6200 or via the Online Contact Form. If you contact UConnect via the form or email, please include a screen shot or copy and paste any error message as this will help us identify the issue and assist you.

Open Universities Australia
If you are studying through Open Universities Australia (OUA), please enrol via your Open Universities Australia Student Hub.

If you can't enrol yourself in a unit because it has reached its quota (maximum number of students), contact the unit coordinator to check if it is still possible for you to enrol. If the unit coordinator approves your enrolment, forward their approval email to u.connect@utas.edu.au. It may take a couple of days for you to then be enrolled.

The cost of your study will depend on which units you enrol in, when you started studying, and the type of offer you have.

Access your tuition fee invoice via eStudent, in the 'MyStudy' tab under 'Transcripts and Invoices'. For more details, please visit How much do I owe?

In most cases, you can study part time. The number of units you enrol in determines whether you are studying full or part time. You don't need to change your application.

Once you accept your offer and have been admitted to your course, you can enrol in your preferred number of units.

• Full time study: 37.5 credit points minimum to 50 credit points maximum in each half of the calendar year.
• Part time study: up to 25 credit points in each half of the calendar year.

To better understand full-time and part-time commitments, explore how to manage your study load and time effectively.

Please note: Some courses, such as the BMedScMD, do not allow for part time study. If in doubt, check your course's entry on the Courses and Units Page or contact the University info team at course.info@utas.edu.au or 1300 363 864 / +61 3 6226 6112.

• If you receive Centrelink benefits, studying part time may impact your eligibility for payments. Contact Centrelink to discuss your situation.

International students

• If you are studying on a student visa, you need to complete your studies before your CoE expires.
• Generally, this will mean enrolling in 100-150 credit points across the calendar year, i.e a full study load (usually 50 credit points each semester)
• If compassionate or compelling circumstances prevent you from studying  a full time study load and your course permits it, you can apply for a reduced study load for a specific study period.
• If you are studying offshore or as a distance student, you can enrol in less than a full study load if your course permits it.

We will send all your important course, enrolment and fees information to your University email account.

Access your email account from this link or via the link on your Student Portal homepage. You can also access your email by downloading Microsoft Outlook on your personal device (including your mobile phone).

Email is accessed through Microsoft Outlook, which forms part of Office 365, an online version of the Microsoft Office suite. It is made available free for all enrolled students.

If you need help with your login, please contact the IT Service Desk or call 13 UTAS (13 8827).

All students require a Student ID card, whether studying on-campus or online.

If on-campus you'll need your Student ID to access all common buildings. If you need access to specific buildings / areas, request this from your local College or Institute reception point once you have your ID card. 

You'll need your Student ID for:

• Access to buildings
• University events
• Sitting exams
• Borrowing books and accessing Library Services
• Charging and accessing your account for photocopying and printing
• Receiving student concessions

If you have any access issues after completion, please visit ICT reception on Level 3, Centenary Building, and the receptionist will be able to help.

How do I order my Student ID card?

You can order your Student ID card online. (Please contact UConnect if you have any issues including uploading documents or adding photos).

When ordering, you can opt to:

• Order and collect your Student ID card on the spot from a UConnect location;
• Have your card mailed out to you (ensure your mailing address is up to date in eStudent);
• Collect your card from a UConnect location, five business days after your email confirmation (have your Student Number handy)

If your Student ID card has been lost, damaged or stolen:

Order your replacement card here - it costs $10.00.

If your Student ID card has expired or is faulty and not working:

ID cards are valid for the expected length of your degree - if you are enrolled past this date a replacement card is free of charge.

If you have arrived at your exam without your ID card, contact UConnect for a 'proof of identity' slip instead of a replacement card.
