Please select your degree type

Step 1: Enrol in topics

Master of Clinical Education by Research and Master of Health and Clinical Research students will be emailed an Admission Confirmation and can then self-enrol.

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.

Step 5: Prepare for your research

Contact your supervisor and plan your first meeting

At this meeting you and your supervisor/s should negotiate the expectations of supervision for your candidature, such as regularity of meetings, project structure, work submission guidelines, including types of feedback. You can discuss the college's expectations and HDR milestones, especially the Confirmation of Candidature.

Your supervisors will provide academic support, ensuring your thesis is planned properly and written to expected standards. They’ll also help you adhere to Flinders University’s milestone and thesis submission timeframes.

Meet college administrative staff

The college is responsible for providing you with resources for your candidature. Arrange to meet the college's administrative staff to gain access to additional resources that maybe available for you. They will assist you to settle in after you meet with your supervisor. The HDR college contacts will be able to help you with your enquiries.

Contact laboratory staff (if relevant)

If your research involves working in a laboratory, ensure that you meet with the relevant college laboratory staff and participate in college/laboratory WHS inductions.

Review your course rules

Course rules detail the program of study and the admission, progression, thesis and assessment requirements of your course. You are responsible for ensuring you follow these rules.

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.
