Subject Enrolment
1. How do I choose my courses?
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.
For more in-depth information on how to review, select your courses, and create a program plan go here.
2. How do I enrol in courses?
Enrolling is the process of registering the courses you intend to study in each semester. It is your responsibility as a student to choose suitable courses and to enrol each semester.
You must enrol in at least one course by the due date (see Enrolment Dates).
To enrol in your courses, you'll use mySI-net, the control centre for student administration at UQ.
Log in to Starting at UQ for a step-by-step guide on how to set up your mySI-net profile, enrol in your courses and register your class preferences.
3. How do I create my class timetable?
Enrol in Courses
Once you have chosen and enrolled in your courses, go to My Timetable.
Plan your timetable
Select ‘Planner’ to generate an initial timetable and swap for your preferred dates and times (NOTE: You aren’t guaranteed a spot until you complete class preferencing and allocation – this is just a tool to PLAN your ideal timetable)
Submit your preferences during the class preferencing period
Register your preferred class times during the class preferencing period. This usually begins 4 weeks before the semester begins – but check the Academic Calendar for specific dates. Make sure you wait for the preferencing period to open and submit your preferences before the closing date!
If you have saved a preferred plan using the My Timetable planner, you can automatically enter those class preferences into My Timetable when class preferencing opens. You'll then be allocated to classes based on these preferences.
Review your allocated timetable and make adjustments
After the system creates your timetable, there is a class adjustment period. During this time, you can review your allocated timetable, swap class times if there's a space available, add your name to a waitlist to swap, and allocate yourself to classes you missed during the class preferencing stage. If no suitable class times are available, contact the relevant faculty or school for advice. Your electronic course profile (ECP) will list them as the ‘coordinating unit’.

4. What course delivery (external, in-person) mode should I choose for my courses?
Some courses may be available in multiple delivery modes depending on course requirements. To find out the available delivery modes for your courses, search for the course on the Programs and Courses website – the available delivery modes will be listed under ‘Mode’.
UQ has two main modes of enrolment – in-person and external.
In-person: An in-person course may incorporate some aspects of online delivery (e.g. online lectures, options for online tutorials, online assessment) but requires students to engage in in-person learning or assessment at a UQ campus or other location at some point.
External: External courses are delivered entirely online, and students must participate online for all learning and assessment. No attendance on campus is required. Students who cannot come to campus can only enrol in external offerings.
Some courses may require students to enrol in the in-person mode unless they have a valid reason to enrol externally in the course. Read through the course page, and if needed, discuss your delivery mode with the program coordinator of your course, which can be found on the ECP.
5. What is an ECP?
A Course Profile (also known as an Electronic Course Profile or ECP) contains information on the course, including administrative details, aims, objectives, learning resources required, course learning and teaching activities, assessment tasks and policies. You can navigate to a specific course's ECP by searching for the course on Programs and Courses website and clicking through. The ECP is also linked to Learn.UQ (Blackboard).
