eStudent from May 2007 notifies students at the earliest possible point in the enrolment process if they are likely to be stopped from enrolling into core units for one of the following reasons:

• Web self management is not available to the student
• Web self management is not available for this unit
• The unit is not available for this year; for example it may be a first half year unit and so enrolment time has passed for this unit.
• The quota for the unit has been met

International students must show that they

• are enrolled in a full-time study load for both semesters (unless in the last term of their program). A full time load is between 9 and 14 credit points in a study period;


• have a home or permanent address that is overseas;


• have a contact address within Australia.

Advice on what Law units should be on your plan and problems when enrolling that arise from not meeting the co-requisites and, or pre-requisites require academic advice and must be managed through the Department of Law.

Please note that eStudent support can only provide advice on adminstrative matters relating to your enrolment at Macquarie University. Academic advice regarding your course (also known as program of study) must be obtained from the Department responsible for offering your course.

For many, enrolling via the web should make the enrolment process more convenient. However, students unable to access a computer without the aid of assistive technology, because of a disability, may experience some difficulties.

Macquarie University is mindful of issues that may be experienced by students with vision impairment, given their reliance on screen-reading software. In those cases, if web enrolment is difficult to access, contact staff in the Equity Support Unit at equity@mq.edu.au to arrange assistance in negotiating the enrolment process.

All students with disabilities/health conditions are encouraged to register with the Equity Support Unit on campus. To do so, Advice of Disability/ Health condition forms are available via http://www.registrar.mq.edu.au/academic-index.htm .

It is a condition of your enrolment that you check your official email account at least weekly. The University will send important notices to your official email account should there be a change in your enrolment status.
