What is Class Registration?

Class Registration is the final step in enrolling in the courses (subjects) that you will be taking at UNSW for each term. Registration opens 8 weeks before each term start date.

Before each term, you will choose your class times. This will confirm your enrolment and create your timetable.

You can change your courses and your class times online, up to the enrolment deadline for each term.

You must Class Register (choose your class times) for all of your courses - including any online courses - before the deadline each term, or your courses will be dropped.

International Student Visa Holders - Please note, from the start of Term 2 2023 you must be enrolled in at least 1 in-person class per term and cannot take more than one third of your courses online. Example - if you enrol in a Multi-Modal course, you must register for at least 1 in-person (not online) class component. UNSW will be monitoring enrolments for compliance purposes. Find out more on returning to in-person study in Term 2 2023.

What can I do if my class times clash?

If there are no other class times available, you can apply for Timetable Clash Approval to see if the clash can be allowed.

Do I have to choose classes for an online course?

Yes, if your chosen course is being taught online, entirely or in parts, you still need to choose a class time to finalise your enrolment. Follow the normal steps for choosing class times and make sure you choose the WEB class that should be available.
