myUNSW is the online administration application for all current students. It has links to the Student Guide, the online handbook and many other UNSW resources and services. Students use myUNSW to update their address details, check results and fee statements, and vary enrolment. Re-enrolling students do all their enrolment via myUNSW.

The UniPass is your Universal Password, used to access myUNSW services such as e-mail, the University Dial-Up Service and the UNSW Library's Electronic Resources.

A UniPass and PIN should have been issued to you when you first enrolled. If you did not obtain one or have lost it, then contact Dis<>Connect.

A new undergraduate student in their first Semester of enrolment who discontinues before the Census date, but wants to return in the following year, doesn't get granted leave. You will need to apply through UAC for the following year, but you will be guaranteed admission to the same program the following year.

Once a student has completed at least one Semester of study, they can apply for leave. Leave is granted for a period of up to one year ie 2 Semesters. Any request for further periods of leave are only approved in exceptional circumstances.

International Students wanting to apply for leave should consult the Faculty Student Centre.

Looking at our academic record on myUNSW, the exempted course should have a T beside it. Do not be concerned if your exemptions take a few weeks to appear on your record, this is quite normal.

Your official transcript will have the name of the course and "exemption" printed next to it.

Yes, you will need to drop this course yourself via myUNSW. You should apply for advanced standing well before the census date in each Semester as you can not drop a course after census date.

This could be because:

• Prerequisites or corequisites have not been met
• You have no enrolment appointment
• You are attempting to overload. The maximum load for each semester is 27 units of credit.
• You have a time conflict with other classes.
• There are blocks on your records, for example for outstanding fees.
• You are on probation and you have not yet seen an academic adviser.

You should formally apply for Special Consideration. A detailed explanation of the procedures can be found at:
http://my.unsw.edu.au/student/atoz/SpecialConsideration.html

Special consideration forms must be submitted within 3 days of the date the assessment was due, or the exam held. In all cases you should contact your lecturer to advise them you are seeking special consideration.

Students who have to withdraw at any time because of documented illness or misadventure can apply to be discontinued without academic failure. Such applications need to be submitted as soon as you stop attending classes and must be accompanied by supporting medical or other relevant documentation.

The census dates are very important to remember because they are the dates on which your tuition fees are calculated. This means that you will be financially liable for all the courses you are enrolled in as at these dates.

-- Key Dates at UNSW --

The last date for students to withdraw without academic penalty is the end of week eight of Semester. However students will still be financially liable for all courses they are enrolled in as at the relevant census dates. Remember the Census dates are: 31st March for Semester 1 & 31st August for Semester 2.

Exams are held in June/July and November/December each year. Provisional timetables are posted on University notice boards and the University exams website in May and October - my.unsw.edu.au/student/academiclife/assessment/examinations/
