The UNSW Handbook is a comprehensive guide for prospective and current students seeking information about studying at UNSW. The Handbook offers information on approved programs (degrees), disciplinary specialisations (majors/minors) and courses (subjects). It also provides extensive details about program content, rules and structures, and course requirements and information.
myPlan is an interactive tool that allows you to check your progress and plan your courses through to program completion. You can drag and drop courses into your study plan, check how completed courses apply to different programs (if you’re looking to transfer) and confirm the courses you need to complete to graduate.
-
No, although you can add courses to the study plan, you still need to officially enrol in these courses through myUNSW. Select the ‘Get myPlan Courses’ button on the Course Enrolment page in myUNSW to pull your planned courses from myPlan. You can do this when your enrolment appointments open each year. You can then register for your classes at your class registration appointments for each teaching period.
-
Yes, it does. Any changes you make to your enrolments in myUNSW will be reflected in myPlan within minutes. Any other changes to data (your name, program, declared specialisations, etc.) will update overnight.
-
When you add a course to your study plan, you may see an orange message that says Review Prereqs. In this case, myPlan can't say with certainty if you have met your prerequisite and you will need to cross check the requirements using the Handbook.
If your program is transitioning to the Flex-Semester Academic Calendar in 2028, a course may appear that is expected to be offered, but its prerequisites, co-requisites or other enrolment rules may still be under development to align with the flex-semester structure. This means prerequisite and co-requisite messages shown in myPlan for 2028 may not yet reflect the final requirements for that course.
Adding your preferences for future study on myPlan is useful even if your plans are not final. This information helps faculties understand student interest and demand as they plan for future course offerings. Check back regularly to confirm updates to course offerings.
-
When you add a course to your study plan, you may see a red message that says Prereqs or Coreqs are missing. In this case, myPlan has assessed that you have not satisfied the prequisites or corequisites required for you to enrol in the planned course, and that you will be prevented from enrolling in that course on myUNSW on that basis.
To resolve the issue in myPlan, add the necessary course(s) in previous terms (for prerequisites) or the same term (for corequisites) and refresh the page.

There are several reasons that a course may be showing as unmatched in myPlan. If you believe your course should be able to count towards your program, try prioritising the course to the applicable requirement. Refer to the guide below to learn how to prioritise your courses.
-
If you have transferred between programs at UNSW, myPlan has been configured so that you can see all credits that have been transferred into your new program. If you can't see a course that should have been transferred into your new program, contact The Nucleus: Student Hub for support.
-
For students identified as potential graduands, myPlan displays a ‘graduation clearance’ row that is used by staff as part of the process to assess graduation eligibility based on your degree progress. Statuses may change during the eligibility assessment processes. Graduation is confirmed only when a final Approved status is applied after results are released.
For more information and next steps, see the Current Students Graduations page.
-
Not Likely To Be Offered means that the course is not expected to run in that particular teaching period based on the information currently available. This does not necessarily mean that the course will not be available. It may be:
- Expected to run in another study period
- Replaced by another course
- Under review, or
- Updated as faculties finalise their offerings.
You should check if the course is available in other study periods in myPlan before seeking further advice.
If your program is transitioning to the Flex-Semester Academic Calendar in 2028, don’t be concerned if a course you expect to take is currently showing as Not Likely to Be Offered in any period in 2028, as this may change as planning is finalised.

Watch how the Flex-Semester model is set up on myPlan
In this video guide, see how to check if your program will be transitioning to the Flex-Semester Academic Calendar and how to re-order your courses for the new model.
-
The easiest way to tell is by looking at your study plan in myPlan. If your program is transitioning to flex-semester, you will see Semester 1 and Semester 2 for 2028 and future years. You will also see the option to add Summer Term, and Winter Term
If your program is not transitioning, you'll continue to see your current term structure in your study plan and courses already included in your plan will remain in that structure. You can continue planning your future studies in myPlan as usual.
-
If your program is transitioning to the Flex-Semester Academic Calendar, any courses you had planned for 2028 onwards have been moved into the new calendar structure where possible.
- Courses planned in Summer Term 2028 remain in Summer Term 2028.
- Courses planned in Term 1 2028 have moved to Semester 1 2028.
- Courses planned in Term 3 2028 have moved to Semester 2 2028.
Courses planned in Term 2 2028 have been moved to the Remaining tab under the 'Courses' section (example shown in the screenshot). Review these courses and move them into the teaching period you intend to study them.
You will also need to review your pathways and adjust your planning as course offerings get updated.
-
No, you do not need to finalise or resolve your 2028 plan now. However, adding your current preferences will help faculties understand student interest in specific courses as they continue planning future course offerings.
Your priority should be ensuring your 2027 plan is suitable. You can then use myPlan to look ahead to 2028 and record your current preferences where possible.
-
The course information currently displayed for 2028 in myPlan is indicative and are subject to change.
Final 2028 course offerings will be confirmed before the 2028 annual enrolment period opens in September 2027. Faculties will continue to refine course information and provide further guidance as required to ensure you are confident in your study plans in 2028.
