How to change your program for Semester 1 study
| Program change type | Procedures |
|---|---|
| Single program to single program | Apply through QTAC.

| Dual program to single program | If you’re enrolled in a dual program – or you’ve just received an offer from QTAC to study a dual program – and you want to drop one of the dual program’s component degrees, you can lodge a program change request through mySI-net. If you’re studying a dual program and you want to switch to a single program that isn’t one of the component degrees in your dual program, you will need to apply through QTAC.

How to change your program for Semester 2 study
If you’re applying to change your program for Semester 2, you must ensure the new program has a mid-year / Semester 2 intake.
Search for your program to check if it has a Semester 2 intake.
If you want to change to an Education (Secondary) dual program and you haven't completed the non-academic entry criteria, you must apply through QTAC.
How to change a program for Semester 2 depends on whether you were enrolled in Semester 1 of the same year.
Procedures apply to both single programs and dual programs.
Enrolment in Semester 1 of the same year | Procedures |
|---|---|
I was enrolled in Semester 1 | Apply through mySI-net.
The entry rank for the new program will be the entry rank cut-off for Semester 1 of the same calendar year. |
I wasn’t enrolled in Semester 1 | Apply through QTAC.
|
I was previously enrolled in a program I want to change back into. What should I do?
Contact Student Central to find out if you have retained your place in the program. If you have retained your place, then we can reactivate the program in your student record. If you have not retained your place, you will need to re-apply via QTAC.
