Enrolling in units for 2014

A prerequisite is a requirement that must be met by a student before enrolment in a stipulated unit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the prerequisites for a unit prior to enrolling into that unit.
A co-requisite is a requirement that must be met by having already passed or being concurrently enrolled in an associated unit in order to be able to enrol in the stipulated unit.
If you wish to enrol into a unit for which you have not met the prerequisite or co-requisite requirements, please obtain approval from your Course Coordinator.
2. Refer to the unit listings in Section 4. ‘Units Offered in 2014’ to select your units. Take note of the study period in which units are offered.
3. You must refer to Administration & Enrolment on the ACU website
