I want to enrol in / cancel additional courses 

You can undertake additional courses as part of your program. These courses do not incur any tuition fees or HECS liability and all results are recorded on the academic transcript.
Enrolment in additional courses will only be approved when the courses are deemed relevant to your research project or are required by your enrolling School/Institute as part of the research training undertaken in that School/Institute.

It is important to note that enrolment in additional courses cannot exceed one third of the total workload of the degree (10 units for a MPhil student, 20 units for a PhD student).

I want to enrol in a second degree program

To enrol in a second degree program discuss with your advisory team and Postgraduate Coordinator in the first instance. Your advisory team needs to be satisfied that the additional work will not impact on your research higher degree progress. You also need to ensure that your enrolment in both programs adequately reflects the time you have allocated to each. For example, should you change from full-time to part-time or vice versa? Once you have made these considerations and gained the support of your advisory team and Postgraduate Coordinator, you need to apply for permission for concurrent enrolment to the Graduate School.

Your progress will also be discussed at each of your milestones. If it is concluded that enrolment in the second degree program is negatively impacting on your research higher degree progress then you will be liable for withdrawal without academic penalty.
