Consult our��Student resources��if you need further clarification on the Handbook rules. We also recommend you view the progression plans which maps out the courses required.

There is a very important difference. “Drop” means that you'll be removed from the course, you won’t be enrolled anymore. “Swap” means that you want to stay enrolled in a course, but you want to swap to a different class time (for example, swapping a Monday tutorial to a Wednesday tutorial). If you only want to swap a class, always use the “Swap” button. If you use the drop button, you’ll lose your place in the course, and we can’t guarantee that you can get back in.

“Pending” is an error message which means you have��not��been enrolled and that you need to speak to a Student Advisor to resolve the issue. A pending status will always��have an error message associated with it, advising you exactly what the problem is—for example, a timetable clash or a full class.

If the issue is known, you can submit the relevant��.

Don't forget that double degree students don't need General Education as you're already doing courses from two faculties.��

“Lower” and “higher” level courses don't have any bearing on your WAM. All courses��are weighted the same. We have different levels of courses because students have different needs depending on their chosen major. For example, a student majoring in Mathematics��requires a more in-depth��math��course in the first year to prepare them for later studies.����

A student majoring in Biology, however, doesn't require such in-depth knowledge, so we have a different Maths course to cater for students doing life Sciences majors. This isn’t to say that a Biology major student can’t choose to do a higher Maths course.��

For first year Biology courses, you're not expected to have studied Biology beforehand. For first year Maths, Chemistry and Physics courses, however, there are different courses��based on what your prior knowledge is, so if you're in this position, we recommend that you contact��the .

A major is a defined sequence of study within a program (e.g. Bachelor of Science with a Major in Chemistry). It's possible to do more than one major in some programs.

It is recommended to view the for your program and also the Progression Plans.

A minor is a specified sequence of study within a discipline or sub-discipline, smaller in size and scope than a major.��

Students have the option to use their electives to take a minor as a secondary academic discipline without having to cover the full scope of a second major. This will be recorded on your transcript but not your degree testamur.����

Students are officially advised to declare their major(s)��at the end of their first year. You can change it at any time within your degree. More information about Specialisation Declarations can be .
��
You can declare your major using the “Specialisation Declaration”��tool in your Student Profile tab on��.��

It depends on how large each major is and how much crossover there is between the two majors. Check the����and look up both majors��to confirm.��Add the total Units of Credit (UoC)��for��both majors��(and minus the��UoC��which overlap or count towards both majors) and if the result is 96��UoC��or less,��that��equates to��a standard��degree��duration.��More than 96��UoC��means��it will take extra time to complete your degree.��

We recommend you also map out your study plan for each year to ensure you can take the core courses when they are offered. You can view the Progression Plans and the Major structures to get an idea of the layouts.��
