Changing Your Enrolment

Are you an International student?

If you are an International student, please make sure that you contact the Office of Policy and Regulation at policy.regs@anu.edu.au or 02 6125 1436 to arrange an appointment to discuss the implications to your visa when making the following changes:

  • Reducing your study load
  • Changing Program
  • Withdrawing from your program
  • Requesting Program Leave

Acceptance of late applications is at the discretion of the Manager, Enrolments and Student Records. Applications for program transfer will not be accepted after 8 February 2009 for Semester 1 transfers or 4 July 2009 for Semester 2 transfers

  2. You will receive an email from the Enrolments Office advising you of the outcome of your application to transfer. If you are offered a place in the new program but don't wish to take it, please advise the Enrolments Office in writing immediately.
    Note: notification of the result of your application to transfer will not normally be emailed until approximately two weeks prior to the commencement of the semester/session your transfer is to be effective.

  3. Check on ISIS that your old program is inactive and your new program is active. If your record is not correct, contact the Enrolments Office immediately.

  4. Enrol in courses via ISIS, as per standard enrolment procedures, fee payment requirements and deadlines.

  5. If you wish, you can apply for credit for any studies you have already completed.

  6. Lodge a Request for a Change to Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment form, signed by your College/Faculty, with the Office of Policy and Regulation (OPAR) - International Students only.

  7. Complete the relevant eCAF (Commonwealth Assistance Form) (if eligible).

  8. Sponsored students will need to fill in a new Notification of Sponsorship Form and seek approval for the transfer from your sponsor.

Please note that when transferring programs, you will be liable for the rate of tuition fees/HECS for the year of your transfer. In many cases this will mean an increase of HECS/fees.

Changing Specialisations

Changes of specialisation, e.g. Master of Arts (Art History) to Master of Arts (History), are not program transfers and therefore are not subject to the same deadlines and penalties as program transfers. To change specialisations, speak to your College Student Office.
