Study Plan

12. Which courses should I enrol in? 

Get started by finding your program in the program and course catalogue. 

After finding your program, you can click through to see your courses and requirements.

13. How do I make a study plan, and whom do I contact for support? 

The Program Planner is a tool that allows students to plan courses for their program and ensure that the plan meets the program's completion rules and chosen structure (majors, minors, etc). The tool also allows students to engage with UQ staff to get feedback on their plan. 

Students can log in to save a plan to their account. This plan will then be available in the Program Planner's 'My Plans' section. 

The Program Planner can also be accessed without logging in. When a user saves a plan without logging in, a unique URL is created that can be copied and saved for future reference.

If you need further bespoke support in customising your study plan, would like to talk to an Academic Advisor, or want to ask questions, contact your Faculty or School. 

14. When do I need to confirm my study plan? 

There is no specific date or time at which you are required to confirm your program study plan. To develop your study plan, use the Program Planner or contact your faculty or school. 

However, it is important to check early on, refer back to your program plan each semester, and look for any updates to ensure you are eligible to graduate. This is especially important for programs with majors/minors.  

Undergraduate students can complete a progression to ensure they are on track to graduate within their expected time. It is recommended to request a progression check mid-late in your program. Contact your Faculty or School to request a progression check. 

15. How many courses must I take to be a part-time/full-time student? 

The number of units you enrol in each semester determines whether you are full-time or part-time. Here's what you need to know: 

Most courses are 2 units each 

6 units or more per semester is full time 

8 units per semester is a normal full-time study load 

Fewer than 6 units per semester is part-time 

Have a look at each course ECP to see its unit value. 

16. I want to change my degree – what do I do? 

It is possible to switch between UQ programs. Depending on your situation, there may be a few things to consider as you decide. Considerations and processes differ between undergraduate and postgraduate study, international and domestic students, what program you want to study, and when you want to commence the new program. See this page for more information and details on whom to contact about your specific situation.
