It is quite likely that you will have a few questions about how to enrol, who to speak to, what courses to take and much more. We have put together a short enrolment checklist (pdf, 158KB) to help you along your way.
Seeking course advice is strongly recommended for all especially if you are unsure about which courses to select this semester or need very specific academic advice with regards to courses such as Chemistry, Maths or Physics.
