	Fees and charges Choosing a course How to apply Application Forms Rules and guidelines INTRODUCTION Non Award enrolment refers to all enrolments in courses or a sequence of courses which do not lead to or count towards a formal award (e.g. degree or diploma) of the University of New South Wales. Non Award enrolments fall into two categories; voluntary and cross institutional. A Voluntary course enrolment is where the student is taking the course either out of interest, or to develop professional competence in an area of specialisation. Students enrolled in award programs sometimes simultaneously enrol voluntarily in courses additional to their award requirements. Tuition fees are set annually. Cross Institutional enrolment is where a student enrols in a course at UNSW for credit towards an award at another Australian tertiary institution in which the student is concurrently enrolled. Before an application for cross-institutional enrolment can be approved, the student must submit the home institution's written confirmation that the course/s applied for will be credited towards their degree. Local students also need to include details of their current fee status ie. Pre or Post 2005, Commonwealth Supported or Tuition Fee paying. FEES AND CHARGES Local Students - Non Award Voluntary Tuition fees are payable for all Non Award voluntary course enrolments and are charged by unit of credit (UOC) according to the classification of the course/s. Please refer to the Fees section of myUNSW. Local Students - Cross Institutional If you are enrolled as a pre or post 2005 Commonwealth Supported Student at your home institution, you may be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported enrolment at UNSW. If applicable, you will be required to submit (with your application) evidence of your pre or post 2005 Commonwealth Supported Student status at your home institution. For information regarding Commonwealth Support and Assistance please see the Fees section of myUNSW. If you are enrolled as a Domestic Fee-paying student at your home institution you will be charged tuition fees for your cross institutional enrolment at UNSW. Information regarding tuition fees for study at UNSW can be found in the Fees section of myUNSW. International Students - Non Award Voluntary or Cross Institutional UNSW provides a limited number of places for international students to study on a Non Award basis. Specific details may be obtained by contacting the Non Award Admissions Team by telephone on +61 2 9385 3228 or by e-mail. International students are liable for tuition fees for all Non Award enrolment in courses. This is irrespective of whether or not they are concurrently enrolled in an award program at the University. All students required to hold a student visa or other temporary visa for residence in Australia are deemed to be 'International' students for the purpose of determining tuition fees for Non Award enrolments. Tuition fees are charged by unit of credit (UOC) according to the classification of the course/s. Please refer to the Fees section of myUNSW. CHOOSING A COURSE The UNSW Online Handbook is a 'one-stop shop' for prospective and current students seeking information about studying at UNSW.

A range of assistance is offered, including examination support, specialised equipment, educational support, parking provisions and library assistance. If you have a disability please make contact with the Equity Officer (Disability) on telephone (02) 9385 4770 prior to or immediately following enrolment to discuss your support needs. RULES AND GUIDELINES Non award enrolment in a course, taken either Voluntarily or Cross Institutionally, may be permitted provided that the student has appropriate educational qualifications and in each case the Head of School (or nominee)offering the course considers that the student will benefit from the enrolment, that accommodation is available, and that the enrolment does not prevent a place in the course being available to a student proceeding to an award. The University may limit the number of Non Award courses in which a student may enrol, regardless of the permission to enrol that the student may have received from the Heads of Schools offering the courses. In general, enrolment will not be permitted in more than four half-year courses in any one academic year. A student who is under exclusion from any course of the University may not enrol in that course as a Voluntary enrolment. A student who is excluded from any program of the University may not enrol in any course that forms a compulsory component of the program from which the student is excluded. A student who is subsequently admitted to an award program at the University for which the courses completed as a Non Award student form a part, may apply for credit for those courses. As a general rule the University does not permit Non Award enrolments in first year undergraduate courses. In addition, the University may decline permission to enrol in a course if the student has not completed pre-requisites for that course. *WHAT IS A CERTIFIED COPY?
