Most courses in the Summer Term are offered in an intensive mode.

How to enrol

See this Annual Enrolment page for more information.

Your enrolment is your responsibility:

  • You must enrol in your course before the enrolment deadline. Enrolling after the deadline will attract a late enrolment fee and may have other implications for your enrolment.
  • If you want to withdraw from a course (drop), the drop deadline is the last day you can withdraw without academic penalty, and the census date is the last day you can withdraw without financial liability for the course. There are also other deadlines to consider before you drop.

Key teaching and administrative dates

There is one teaching period in Summer Term:

  • U1: 5 weeks over January and February

UNSW is closed during the Christmas and New Year period.

For specific dates, see Key Dates for Summer Term.

For class times, see the Class Timetable.
