Advanced Standing is credit awarded towards a current degree based on study done at another tertiary institution or within another program at UNSW. Assumed knowledge is what a lecturer or tutor of a first year UNSW course could reasonably expect all students enrolled in that course to know at the beginning of the course. Compulsory course: a course required for completion of the degree, often a prerequisite for more advanced courses. Co-requisite: a course which must either be completed successfully before, or studied concurrently with, the course for which it is prescribed. Course: a "subject" (eg MATH1141, ELEC1011 etc). Students normally enrol in 4-6 courses in a session and these combine to give a study load. Course Convenor: academic in charge of a course Elective course: a course chosen according to the student's interests, from a specified list. Excluded course is a course that students are NOT permitted to take. Some courses have exclusions with other similar courses, e.g. students who have completed MATH1141 are excluded from taking MATH1131. Exemption: in specially considered circumstances, a student may be given exemption from completing a specific course requirement of their program and need not complete that specified course. Exemptions need to be applied for and approved by the course coordinator. General Education: specifically developed GEN# courses are a requirement for all single undergraduate degrees. They are selected by the student and are required for the completion of a degree. Rules and exclusions regarding General Education requirements often change. Students should contact the School Office if they are unsure of these requirements or are seeking a substitution. Program: the combination of approved courses, completion of which leads to the award of a degree or diploma. Pre-requisite: a course which must be completed before enrolling in another course or the next level of courses - e.g. Completing a Level I MATH course before progressing to Level II MATH courses. Study load: the total number of Units of Credit taken in a session, typically 24 UOC. A minimum of 18 UOC is considered a full time load. Units of Credit (UOC): units
(credit points) awarded for successful completion of a course,
usually 3 or 6. A specified number of units of credit is
required for the completion of a degree. All commencing students finalise their enrolment by enrolling themselves into their courses for 2007. This is done by using the Online Enrolment Portal myUNSW. You must be enrolled into courses by the last date, as late enrolment will incur a fee and you will be disadvantaged with course choices.
REMINDER: You must have access to MyUNSW before you can enrol. For details on how to create your UNIPass, visit https://wombos.unsw.edu.au/setpass/. You will require the following information to create your UNIPass online:
Once you have successfully created a UNIPass, you may log in to myUNSW. BEFORE YOU CAN ENROL:
If you need help enrolling, you can contact the Enrolment Support Centre on Level 2 of the Library. The Centre will support face-to-face, telephone and email enquiries in relation to admissions, acceptance of offer and enrolment - including UNIPASS and HERI matters, but excluding academic advice (i.e "Should I enrol in course A or course B?" questions)
Odd and Even classes The School of EE&T
runs most, but not all, of its labs and tutorials in odd
and even weeks. This means that when you are enrolled into
a lab or a tut, you may have been enrolled into an odd or
even class. Odd weeks are weeks 1, 3, 5 etc of the session,
and even weeks are 2, 4, 6 etc of the session. If you were
enrolled into an odd week lab for example, you would only
have to go to labs in the odd weeks. EET will be providing academic advising to assist new and continuing students to make correct course choices. Students can ask for advice before enrolling online. Please come in person or send your queries via email to g.fong@unsw.edu.au or eet@unsw.edu.au:
If you have applied for Advanced Standing, we are holding an Academic Advising Session specifically for Advanced Standing students.
The University expects that students will be able to enrol online during the online enrolment period. Interstate and international students are advised to arrive in Sydney at least 3 weeks prior to the start of session to give themselves time to find accommodation, to finalise enrolment and to participate in orientation programs. Late enrolments severely inconvenience the School and other students. New students who cannot enrol online by the end of the enrolment period, must notify UNSW Student Central to have their status identified. Students who attempt to be enrolled after Week One of the session will be required to apply in writing to the Registrar showing cause why they should be permitted to enrol. If permission is granted, students may be liable for a late enrolment fee per course. Students who receive a late offer of admission to a program, or students with documented circumstances, which would reasonably prevent them from attending to enrol in accordance with the schedule, will be exempted from the penalties of late enrolment. Note: The School
of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications DOES NOT
recommend missing more than 2 weeks of classes. Students
will be asked to sign a declaration stating that they will
take full responsibility for the consequences associated
with late enrolment. It is very important that you access your UniMail account upon successful enrolment as this account is an official means of communication between you and UNSW. Unimail
is the UNSW Central Electronic Mail System, provided by
the UNSW Communications Unit and supported by Dis><Connect.
Uni-wide related notices such as messages from the Chancellor,
notices of student fees, end of session exam results are
sent via this account. School related notices such as timetable
changes, submission deadlines and many other announcements
are communicated via this account. You
can forward your UniMail to another account for convenience
if you prefer. See UniMail
for assistance. If you are considering withdrawing from a course or your entire program, please consider the dates below. 31 Aug HECS Census date for Session 2. Last day for students to finalise arrangements for HECS-HELP & FEE-HELP. Last day for students to discontinue Session 2 courses without financial penalty. 7 Sept, Last day to DROP Session 2 courses without academic penalty. Last day to discontinue
