Enrol - New students

How do I enrol?  

You will enrol in your subjects at a course level through my Student Centre and you will be able to select your timetable through MyScheduler from 17th January. Please refer to the enrol in your courses step above.

What do I enrol into? 

For new students without credit and continuing students following the standard progression, refer to step 2 locate your program structure above.

For all other students, refer to your personalised study plan. If you require an updated study plan, please contact us.

I have electives to study; how do I choose them? 

Some schools have electives within their program structures and some have a separate list which can be found in the program information/program structures section for your School. If you cannot find this list or are unsure what you can study, please contact us.

How do I know whether a course is 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd year? 

Refer to the first number in the course code. If the first number is a 1, e.g. SCBIO1020, this is an introductory level course and typically taken in first year . If the first number is a 2, e.g. BUMKT2004, this is an intermediate level course and typically taken in second year. If the number is a 3, e.g. NURBN3030, this is an advanced level course and typically taken in third year.

Courses where the first number begins with a 4 or higher are not eligible to be enrolled in by undergraduate students, unless specifically in your program structure.

Many programs have rules regarding the maximum number of 1^st-year courses and minimum number of 3^rd-year courses, so please ensure you refer to your program structure for any rules.

Do I only enrol for semester 1?

No - it is vital to enrol into the whole year so we can plan timetables and staffing accordingly.

What do I enrol into if I want to study part time? 

Some programs have a part-time structure available on the School enrolment page. For other programs, contact us.

I’m an international student and want to reduce my study load? 

Contact International Compliance at CUP@federation.edu.au for permission.

What if I wish to take a break from my studies? 

To take leave of studies or withdraw, visit here.

How can I confirm I have enrolled into my subjects? 

You can view your classes in the Class Schedule tile in my Student Centre, and select the “By Class” tab and untick “Dropped Classes” if applicable.

How do I apply for credit? 

Please complete the credit transfer application form and upload to a FRED portal enquiry. Credit applications and all supporting documents must be received by the end of Week 2 of your first semester. We recommend enrolling into the first year of courses while you are awaiting the credit outcome.

When does timetabling open and close? 

For semester 1, trimester 1 and winter, you can view the timetable and start planning from 10  January 2022 and you will be able to select your classes from 17 January 2022.

For the second half of 2022, you will be able to select your classes from May/June. Dates will be confirmed closer to this time.

Please refer to Important Dates to view the last date to add classes for each semester.

How do I get the best possible timetable? 

MySchedule will operate on a first come first serve basis, and the earlier you log in the more timetable options that will be available for you to select from.

Why do I have to wait for my timetable? 

This new system puts us in line with other Universities and will allow us to plan our classes with more accuracy. Releasing timetables closer to semester commencing means there is less chance of last-minute changes.

Further resources are available here.

Why can’t I submit my USI in my enrolment checklist?
Students require a Unique Student Identifier (USI) to undertake VET or Higher Education study in Australia.

You will receive an error message if your details with the Australian Government do not match your details with Federation University.

If you need to change your details, log in to my Student Centre and update your personal details.

If you are still having trouble, contact us.

Why aren’t my classes aren’t showing up in Moodle?
Moodle shells will be available 1 week prior to semester commencing.

No options are coming up when I search for a subject in class search?
Ensure you have selected the correct semester.

When entering the course code, put a space between the letters and numbers, e.g. EDBED1013 will be entered as EDBED 1013.

I can search for subjects but I can’t select any?
Please contact us for assistance.

An error message has appeared, what do I do?
Check you meet the pre-requisites for the course you are trying to enrol in.

Check if you are enrolling in a course that has a co-requisite – this is listed in your program structure. You will need to add both the courses to your shopping cart and then finalise your enrolment for them at the same time.

Check you are not trying to enrol at another campus (you should have a filter for your campus already at the top of the screen) – students are unable to enrol at other locations. If there is a course you wish to study that is offered at another location, please contact us to see if you are eligible.
