Staff Information

Other reasons a student may be unable to enrol:

  • Fee liability category. Check the Student Study Package window in S1 to ensure the unit liability category is set up correctly against the students study plan.
  • Course/unit level mismatch. Undergraduate courses should not contain any units that are enabling (have an unit code commencing with zero) or postgraduate (have a unit code commencing with 5000 or above).
  • Self-enrol flag not ticked. This could be at unit level, availability level, template level or course level.
  • Unit has a co-requisite.
  • Unit is an equivalent or an anti-requisite to a unit that has previously been passed by the student.
  • Unit study mode doesn't match the student's study mode (e.g. extension or OUA).
  • Incorrect version of unit on study plan.
