Questions about enrolling? Please visit the Federation Enquiry and Application Portal

1. Complete the Student Enrolment Checklist

You must complete your Student Enrolment Checklist before you can enrol in units, to confirm your personal details and agree to the Federation disclaimer. It will take 5–10 minutes.

  1. Log into my Student Centre using your student ID and password.
  2. If you're using a desktop computer, click the Tasks & Holds tile. If you're using a smart device, tap To Do List.
  3. Enter your preferred name, personal email, address, USI and emergency contact details. It is a requirement of your student visa that you provide us with your Australian contact details, including phone number and address.

If you need to make any changes to your name or gender, read the instructions then download and complete the ’Amend your personal details’ form (PDF 137kb) and submit it via the Enquiry and Application Portal. Complete your checklist and enrol while you are waiting for your request to be actioned.

Your Unique Student Identifier (USI) is your lifelong education number, used to connect the online record of your Australian training history. You must provide Federation with your USI unless you’re studying offshore. It's likely we already have your USI on record. If you do need to provide it, you can find your existing USI here.

2. Review your student plan

Your student plan will be emailed to you on Wednesday, 27 November 2024.

A student plan is a personalised enrolment plan that helps you apply your course structure to your personal circumstances.

Your student plan shows:

  • The requirements of your course by each year of study and semester.
  • The order and number of units to enrol in each semester in order to meet the conditions of your course are based on your circumstances. For example, if you have failed a pre-requisite it will show you how to enrol to repeat the unit, and when you can enrol in the next unit; or if you're studying part-time it will show you which units to enrol into in each semester to complete your degree part-time.
  • Which units are compulsory and which are elective. Where electives are indicated, there may be suggestions in the course structure about which unit you can choose.
  • Whether there is a pre-requisite unit that you must have completed first or a co-requisite unit you must study at the same time.
  • Whether a unit is excluded if you’ve previously studied a similar unit.

3. Plan your academic year

If you have options in your course structure, use these definitions to understand how to pick your units.

All units that appear in your formal course structure must be completed to meet the requirements of your degree. Within a major, minor or specialisation there may also be compulsory units that are part of your chosen sequence.

Pre-requisite

A pre-requisite is a unit that must be completed prior to undertaking another unit.

Co-requisite

A co-requisite is a unit that must be completed with another unit (i.e. you must enrol in both units in the same semester).

Exclusion

An exclusion is a unit that is equivalent to another unit and so excludes students from repeating an equivalent unit. During re-enrolment, you cannot enrol in a unit if you are already enrolled in an exclusion for that unit.

If ‘Elective’ is listed in your student plan, you must choose from and enrol in one of the electives listed below.
