Requesting permission to enrol
Some courses are restricted to ensure students meet specific requirements before enrolling and/or because there are a limited number of places available in the course. This prevents you from being able to add the course on ISIS in the first instance. Permission is also required for all courses after the last date to enrol has passed.
Steps to request permission to enrol
Step 1 – Request permission to enrol
Some courses are restricted to ensure students meet specific requirements before enrolling and/or because there are a limited number of places available in the course. This prevents you from being able to add the course on ISIS in the first instance.
If you do not meet the prerequisite for the course as outlined on the Programs and Courses website, you must include a statement outlining why you are requesting to enrol and attach supporting documentation that shows how you may meet the prerequisite otherwise e.g. through prior study or professional experience. Supporting documentation may include:
- An academic transcript or statement of results
- Course outlines
- Curriculum vitae (CV)
- Evidence of completion or achievement
- Your study plan for the remainder of your program at ANU
Step 2 – Assessment by the Course Convener
Your request will be sent to the Course Convener to assess if you meet the specific requirements to enrol. We will contact you if additional information is required and aim to process your request in three business days.
Step 3 – Notification of outcome
You will receive notification of the outcome of your request to your ANU student email account.
Step 4 – Enrol
If the Course Convener grants permission, your student record will be updated and you will receive notification you can proceed to add the course on ISIS up until the last date to enrol which falls on Monday of Week 2 at 11:59pm for Semester 1 and Semester 2*.
*If you are seeking to enrol in more than 24 units, please see frequently asked questions below for information regarding overloading.
Late enrolment request process
After the last date to enrol has passed, you will not be able to add the course successfully on ISIS and may request to enrol late. Requests to enrol late are considered on a case by case basis by the Student Services team and require permission from the Course Convener.
Step 1
If you have not been granted permission to enrol by the Course Convener already, you may seek their permission to enrol late by submitting a request here. The deadline to submit a permission request to the Course Convener is Wednesday of Week 2 at 12:00pm midday for Semester 1 and Semester 2. Late enrolment requests will not be accepted after this deadline for any reason.
Step 2
If the Course Convener grants permission, you must submit an Application for Enrolment Change (PDF, 640KB) to Student Services to seek approval to enrol late attaching a copy of the notification received confirming permission has been granted. The deadline to submit the form and notification is Monday of Week 3 at 12:00pm midday for Semester 1 and Semester 2. Please email this to Student Services based on the College offering the course (see table below). Late enrolment requests will not be accepted after this deadline for any reason.
If your program is outside of the ANU College of Science or the ANU College of Health and Medicine, you must also attach confirmation from your College that the course can count towards your program requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline to enrol?
Semester 1 and Semester 2:
You should enrol prior to the start of semester. You can add and swap courses on ISIS up until Monday of Week 2. After the last date to enrol has passed, you will not be able to add the course successfully on ISIS and may request to enrol late.

Please see Late enrolment request process above for information and deadlines.
Non-Standard Session Courses (Summer Session, Autumn Session, Winter Session and Spring Session):
You should enrol prior to the start date of the course. The last date to enrol and census date vary for non-standard session courses. Please check the Programs and Courses website for course/class specific dates.
How do I apply to overload my enrolment?
You can self-enrol into a maximum of 24 units per half year (typically 4 courses) on ISIS. The first half of year includes Summer Session, Semester 1 and Autumn Session and the second half of year includes Winter Session, Semester 2 and Spring Session.
If you would like to enrol in more than 24 units and meet the eligibility criteria, you can request to overload by completing the Manage My Degree eForm on ISIS uploading a copy of the notification received confirming permission has been granted by the Course Convener.
- Main Menu (compass button in top-right corner of screen) > Navigator > ISIS > Manage My Degree > Select ‘MMD-Coursework’
You are not considered to be overloading if you enrol in a non-standard session course and the class dates for this do not overlap with the standard semester dates. In this situation, please complete an Application for Enrolment Change (PDF, 640KB) instead and email this to Student Services based on the College offering the course (see table below) with a copy of the notification received confirming permission has been granted by the Course Convener.
If your program is outside of the ANU College of Science or the ANU College of Health and Medicine, you must also attach confirmation from your College that the course can count towards your program requirements.
