Get enrolled

You've got a plan and you understand your course requirements. Now it's time to enrol in topics and register for classes.

 

Before you start

You should have already:

  • Read and understood your course rule 
  • Reviewed your study planner 
  • Applied for credit for previous study (if applicable)
  • See the plan studies page for further details

Step 1: Enrol in topics

Enrolment varies from course to course. Some courses will automatically select topics for you, others you will need to choose from a list, and some you will need to search for the desired topic.

Courses may be made up of core, elective, option and specialisation topics. You should refer to your course rule for details about which topics to enrol in. You should also refer to your study planner which will include the core topics you must complete and, if applicable, sections for electives, option topics, or major/minor/specialisation topics.

Tip: Have your course rule and study planner with you when you go to enrol.

To enrol:

  • Log in to the Student System and select the ‘My Enrolment’ tab
  • Choose the course you would like to enrol in
  • Click on the link to the enrolment declaration, read the enrolment declaration, accept the terms and conditions and click ‘Agree’
  • Scroll down to see the topics available for your course.

Topics will appear with a blue background if they are available for enrolment. Some will have a preselected semester if they are only offered in a singular study period or location. Other topics may have their own drop-down menu where you need to select a study period or location.

To select the topics you wish to enrol in, tick the corresponding box on the right-hand side of the page and follow the prompts to finalise your enrolment. Once you have enrolled, you can register in classes (if applicable). 

Watch our 'enrolling in topics' video for step-by-step guide to enrolling in topics at Flinders.

Having trouble enrolling in topics? See our troubleshooting section.

Key dates

It's important to be aware of the following key enrolment dates:

  • Enrolment and class registration schedule
  • Critical enrolment dates

Enrolling in topics

Step 2: Register for classes

You’ll be able to register in classes once you’ve enrolled in topics. Class registration is done via the 'My Timetable' tab of the Student System.

It's important to register in classes as soon as possible, to help secure the university timetable that works best for you.

View instructions on registering in classes. You can change your enrolment up to the enrolment deadline. Watch the video for a step-by-step guide to registering for classes at Flinders.

If your class is full, or your classes clash, see the troubleshooting section below for information about what to do.
 
*Once you have completed the enrolment and class registration process, please allow up to an hour to view your timetable on Compass (your timetable will show immediately in the Student System).
 
Online students: Online topics without scheduled classes will not appear on your timetable in the Student System. Check the requirements of online topics on Flinders Leaning Online (FLO) or Canvas. See step 3 below for more information.

Registering for classes

Step 3: View your topic materials

Your topics deliver a range of materials through Flinders Learning Online (FLO). You can access each of your topic FLO sites via the 'my course' section of Compass.

Access to enrolled topics in FLO is made available to you one week before teaching begins. You can view the teaching dates via the topic page - access this via the Topic link in the 'my course' section of Compass.

Each FLO topic page will include information specific to your topic. This includes:

  • assignment guidelines – called Statements of Assessment Methods (SAMs)
  • assignment submissions
  • lecture recordings
  • quizzes
  • forums
  • assignment grades and feedback (final topic grades will be available to view via Compass, following the relevant topic results date)

The appearance of your topics may vary, however your Topic Coordinator and FLO Student Support are able to assist. You can view your Topic Coordinator details via the 'my course' section of Compass.

 

Accessing textbooks

For information on the required and recommended textbooks for each of your enrolled topics, please visit the textbooks page. 

Learn more about FLO

Step 4: Order your ID card

Once you have completed your enrolment, you can organise your Student ID card. You’ll need your ID to:

  • attend exams
  • obtain student concessions
  • access University buildings
  • borrow resources from the library
  • store credit for printing and photocopying
  • and more.

Order your Student ID card the day after you complete your enrolment. You will see a link under the My Systems section on Compass.

Contact Flinders Connect if you have any issues.

*Please note: if you are an international student who has commenced study offshore, you will need to wait until you have arrived in Australia to collect your ID card. 

Enrolment and class registration troubleshooting

I am unable to tick the ‘enrol’ box or can’t find a particular topic

If you are not able to tick the ‘enrol’ box or can’t find a particular topic, please try the following:

  • Ensure you have accepted your offer and completed the pre-enrolment prompts.
  • Check the topic is being offered in the relevant year, by clicking on the Additional Information link under the topic or visit the university timetable.
  • Check that enrolment is open by visiting the enrolment and class registration schedule.
  • Check that you meet the prerequisite requirements by clicking on the Requisite Information link under the topic or on the topic information page. If you believe you have grounds to request a prerequisite waiver, submit an Ask Flinders support request.
  • Check if the topic requires topic coordinator approval or manual enrolment by clicking on the Additional Information link under the topic or on the topic information page. Submit an Ask Flinders support request if you have not obtained topic coordinator approval.
  • Clear any filters (except for the year) you may have entered toward the top of the My Enrolment page.  

For further assistance, submit an Ask Flinders support request. Please include a description of the problem and screenshots where possible.

I have a timetable clash for two of my enrolled topics

Please note that attendance at some classes forms part of the assessment for the topic. In the event that you have selected topics that have clashing class times, the Student System will allow you to 'clash' classes, ie register in two classes at the same time for different topics.

It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the attendance requirements for your topics. This may require you to attend a repeat lecture, or if the lecture is recorded, watch or listen to the lecture at a later stage (recordings will be made available on FLO for some topics). To check whether your lecture will be recorded, contact your lecturer or topic coordinator. If the lecture will not be recorded, you will need to contact email your College administrative officer to discuss your options.

The only class I can attend is full. Can I get special consideration to attend?

You may apply for Special Consideration when the only class(es) you can attend are unavailable to you (due to being full). Students who can attend at alternative times need not apply.

To apply, please submit an online support request via Ask Flinders. Your request will need to include the:

  • Topic code
  • Topic name
  • Activity (eg, Tutorial)
  • Details of requested class (eg, Tuesday at 10 am)

You must also include one of the following reasons for requesting Special Consideration with your request:

  • Clash between core topic classes
  • Part time student (9 units or less)
  • Elite athletes registered with Flinders University
  • Medical/disability

An application will not guarantee you a place in your requested class.

Why can't I register in classes for my enrolled topics yet?

It may be that they are not open for enrolments yet. Check the enrolment opening times for your topics via the enrolment and class registration schedule.
