You need to pay any outstanding fees in full before you can re-enrol.
Once you do this, we'll remove any encumbrance and restore your access to services. If your encumbrance is not lifted in time, we'll charge a late re-enrolment fee.
You must complete the re-enrolment for both course components if you are in a combined or double degree.
If you're planning to return to study next year, you'll need to re-enrol. Consult your Education Management Office about the right timing for this.
If you don't re-enrol before the deadline, you'll be charged a late enrolment fee.
Yes, you need to re-enrol or remain enrolled in your current course to make sure you don't lose your place at Monash, just in case your transfer application doesn't work out. You must also pay any course fees owing for your current enrolment.
Once you've received an offer and have accepted, you've approved the school to discontinue your current course. The school will then update your enrolment so you can enrol in units under your new course.
The school will email you when your new course is ready for enrolment so you can enrol in units in your new course in the Web Enrolment System (WES) .
Yes, go ahead and re-enrol as if you'll pass these units. If you don't enrol on time you'll be charged a late fee.
When you get your summer unit results, make sure to check that your enrolment for next year is still valid.
You'll need to change any units that show as invalid.
In exceptional circumstances, your managing school may apply conditions on your enrolment to help you complete your course, or require you to attend an Academic Progress Committee hearing (for example, if you haven’t met a compulsory course requirement. If this happens, your managing school will contact you separately and advise you on what to do next.
For more information, see attending an Academic Progress Committee hearing

When you get your results in December, make sure to check that your enrolment for next year is still valid.

To keep a place in your course, you need to apply for intermission. See intermission (study leave).
While waiting for your school to confirm you can take study leave, you need to re-enrol in your current course, or else you might lose your place at Monash.
If you're a Graduate Research student, you're still required to re-enrol while on leave. This is the case for all types of approved leave: sick, maternity, parental, jury, leave of absence, study away, and suspension of scholarship.
You can only add or withdraw from units at certain times in the Web Enrolment System (WES).
You can make changes:
If you're unable to enrol in or withdraw from a unit in WES, submit an Enrolment Amendment Form.
You will receive information and instructions about online re-enrolment via the Monash University student email accounts in October.
For further information visit:
If you withdraw from a unit before the relevant academic penalty date, it will remain in WES for audit purposes, but it won't show on your academic transcript.
The last day to withdraw from a unit without academic penalties is the teaching period end date.
To support you in achieving the best possible academic outcome during the disruption caused by COVID-19, and with the close involvement of elected student representatives, we’ve made some changes to grading and results. To see the changes, and which teaching periods they apply to, see grading and results update.
If you didn't re-enrol before the deadline, we add a late fee to your semester one fees statement.
A transaction number (starting with U) is sent to your Monash email address to confirm you've enrolled correctly. Always hang on to your transaction numbers as proof of your re-enrolment.
If you don't receive a transaction number, it means you haven't enrolled correctly.
You can expect to first hear from us in October/November. We'll send an email to your Monash email address reminding you to re-enrol.
We'll keep track of your WES activity and if we don't see you re-enrolling, we'll send you:

We know this is frustrating, but sometimes WES isn't available for re-enrolment. We've outlined some of the reasons below:
You can only re-enrol between certain dates. Check the re-enrolment for coursework students to make sure you've got the timing right. Also, over the Christmas and New Year holiday period, certain services are unavailable and you may not be able to re-enrol via WES.
It's possible you've lost access to WES because you haven't paid fees or fines. Once you've paid them, you'll regain access. If you've been suspended, we'll restrict your access to WES. This can also happen if your school has taken some other disciplinary action against you. Or, it might simply be that re-enrolment for your school is not online – if this is the case, submit an Enrolment Amendment Form.
If you're a research student, you may not need to use WES. For example, your thesis is complete, you have an incomplete academic progress report, or you plan to submit your thesis later this year.
There are a range of other reasons why you may not be able to re-enrol in WES such as the unit requiring school approval. See troubleshooting in WES for full details.
Here are some resources to help you re-enrol:
Don't forget that you need to re-enrol for the entire academic year (both semesters) when you enter your units into WES. This rule will be triggered whenever you try to add, withdraw or swap a unit.
If you can't submit your thesis before your thesis submission date, you'll need to re-enrol for next year.

Yes, we'll email your Monash account with information about your course, so make sure you check it regularly.

Before making a decision to withdraw from a unit, you should familiarise yourself with the census and withdrawal dates for your teaching period so you're aware of how withdrawing from a unit will affect your fees and academic record.
For results in teaching periods affected by the grading and results update, failed units will be withdrawn from your record and any dependent prerequisite units will be removed from your enrolment. For more information, see grading and results update.
