1. Enrolment basics

Before you enrol

Before you can enrol at UQ, you must:

  1. apply for admission to the University
  2. if you are successful, accept your offer.

After you have accepted your offer, your record is activated in the student information system, SI-net, and you are eligible to enrol.

What is enrolling?

Enrolling is the process of registering the courses you intend to study in each semester. It is your responsibility as a student to choose suitable courses and to enrol each semester.

You must enrol in at least one course by the due date – see Enrolment dates.

Your timely enrolment helps the University to determine:

  • which venues to allocate for a course (e.g. courses with large enrolment numbers will be allocated larger rooms),
  • how many classes to schedule (e.g. courses with large enrolments may have more classes – that is, each week’s lectures, tutorials etc may be scheduled more than once), and
  • how to properly allocate University resources to ensure course needs are met.

Please note that being admitted to the University isn't the same as enrolling in a course. After you are admitted, you must enrol in courses each semester to maintain your place in your program.

Pre-enrolment tasks

Before you can enrol in courses, you must complete any pre-enrolment tasks, such as providing your current address and phone number, etc.

Use the mySI-net Task Wizard 

If you're in your first semester and you're not sure what courses to enrol in, please see the Starting at UQ website.
