Set yourself up for 2026: Complete your annual enrolment
Annual enrolment helps you plan ahead and lock in your preferred courses.
Enrolment changes can be made up until the deadline for each teaching period.
At UNSW, enrolment is a two-step process:
- Course enrolment – an annual process where you select the courses you want to study for the coming year.
- Class registration – completed each teaching period, where you choose your specific class times (such as lectures, tutorials, or labs) before the period begins.
If you’re new to UNSW and unsure about the difference between courses and classes, this guide will help you get started smoothly.
