Variations to your enrolment must be approved by the Postgraduate Coursework Director in the School of IT. Students must complete a Variation of Enrolment in Postgraduate Units of Study form then arrange an appointment with Dr Roehm to discuss the changes they are proposing to make to their course of study. If approved, the Variation of Enrolment form will be forwarded to the Graduate School of Engineering for processing. Confirmation of your variation to enrolment will be emailed to your MyUni email address, typically within 10 working days. If it is not, please contact the Student Centre to confirm that they have the correct details recorded for you.
Students are reminded that if they were working with a group of students it is essential to inform them and the group’s tutor or supervisor that you are leaving the unit of study.
