Enrolment Day

Your first step is to action your offer by either accepting, rejecting or deferring.

International students
If you applied to the University of Tasmania via StudyLink Connect, follow these steps:

• Read through your Letter of Offer and attached documents and ensure you are able to comply with the requirements, terms, and conditions
• Login to the University of Tasmania Apply Online Service
• Go to your submitted application with the status "Offer Made"
• Under "Actions" go to "Respond to Offer"
• Check your Offer Details and "Accept Offer"
• Pay the commencement fee detailed.

If you are an agent, the following are the steps to accept a student's offer via StudyLink Connect.

Conditional offers
You may be sent an offer requesting that you meet one or more requirements before you are allowed to enrol. This is called a conditional offer, and the details will be included in your letter of offer. Once you have demonstrated that you have met the conditions, you will receive confirmation that you can enrol in your units.

Offer for a course that you didn't apply for
Sometimes you may be sent an offer for a course that you didn't apply for. Your letter of offer will detail the reasons why you have received this. Check your letter of offer in the Applications portal.

If you would like to speak to someone about your application or you are having any difficulties, call 13 8827 (13 UTAS), or +61 3 6226 6200 from outside Australia, or send us your question online.

Once you have accepted your offer, you will receive your University of Tasmania login details: email address, username, and initial password.

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 UniConnect 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?

If you’re studying two courses and you want to enrol in units under both courses, you need to consider the following:

• 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 UniConnect to discuss your individual circumstances and apply.

If you need help planning your studies, make an appointment with a Student Adviser to discuss your options.

Open Universities Australia

If you are studying through Open Universities Australia, please apply for an overload via your Open Universities Australia Student Hub.

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

To get your enrolment confirmation follow these steps:

• Log into eStudent;
• Navigate to the 'MyStudy' tab;
• select 'Manage my course';
• Select the 'Transcripts and Invoices' option on the left hand side; then
• Click on the red 'Request' button against 'Enrolment Confirmation'.

This will generate an enrolment summary report and email it to your University of Tasmania email account.

If you are an international student and would like to request supporting letters for VISA applications or work entitlement purposes, please complete Letter Request Form or contact your International Student Advisers.

If you're enrolled through Open Universities Australia, please check your enrolment details and request a statement of enrolment via your Open Universities Australia Student Hub.

If you need more information, please contact UniConnect

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 UniConnect on 13 8827 (13 UTAS), or +61 3 6226 6200 from outside Australia, or via the  Online Contact Form. If you contact UniConnect 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 uni.connect@utas.edu.au. It may take a couple of days for you to then be enrolled.

Note: It is unlikely that a unit required for your course would be full, but electives may have quotas. Consider selecting a different elective unit or checking to see if it is available in another study period. If you are enrolled, but your preferred class time/day is full in MyTimetable see 'How do I register for class and see my timetable' to reallocate or swap into a different class time/day.

Find out more at How do I register for class and see my timetable?.

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?

If you are not yet enrolled and want to find out how much your course will cost, you can find individual unit costs at Scholarships, Fees, and Costs. In addition to your tuition fees, there may be other costs associated with study.

Domestic students

General information about fees and costs can be found at Scholarships, Fees, and Costs.

If you are a domestic full-fee paying student, view the Domestic Full Fee amount for each of your units under their description page. Use the black search bar and 'search all units' on the Course and Units page to find your unit information.

If you are in a Commonwealth supported place (CSP), check the student contribution amounts for each of your units on the Course and Units pages. Simply find your course and the year you started.

If you are continuing a course you started before 2021, your student contribution will remain the same or will be lower (depending on your area of study). Visit the Department of Education for more information on 'grandfathering' arrangements.

If you are a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) student, course costs are fully funded through the Australian Government, apart from your Student Services and Amenities Fees.

International students

Find the overall cost of your course via the Courses and Units pages (scroll down to 'Fees & Scholarships').

Check your letter of offer for:

• Your initial fee payment (first semester fees and Overseas Health Cover); and
• Your annual fee (note, this is indicative only and subject to change).

If you have an English language requirement, there will be additional fees. These will be detailed on a separate letter of offer.

If you are an International Higher Degree by Research (HDR) student you will pay a flat fee for your course.

All students

Your fees may be different from other students for reasons such as residency or citizenship, scholarships, student exchange programs, and the course or units that you are enrolled in. The annual unit and course fees can also vary from year to year so, if you accepted your offer at different times, your fees may be different.

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.

If you want to complete your course in the minimum duration, you will typically enrol in 50 credit points of units in each half of the calendar year. For those admitted to an award/course totalling 50 credit points, you may enrol in 50 credit points for that semester depending on unit availabilities

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 UniConnect.

Domestic students

• 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.
