Just prior to your Start Date, the HDR Admissions Team will manually admit you into your course, enrol you into your thesis topic and email you an Enrolment Verification with details of your candidature.

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're an international student who has commenced study offshore, you'll need to wait until you have arrived in Australia to collect your ID card.
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.
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'll assist you to settle in after you meet with your supervisor. The HDR college contacts will be able to help you with your enquiries.
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.

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

Timetable clashes happen when classes overlap, and sometimes they can't be avoided. The Student System allows you to register for classes that clash, but it's your responsibility to make sure you meet topic attendance requirements as these may form part of your assessments.
You might need to attend a repeat lecture or watch or listen to a recorded lecture later – you can check FLO for recording availability.
If you're unsure whether a lecture will be recorded, you should contact your lecturer or topic coordinator to check.
You’ll see a red timetable clash indicator when registering to notify you of clashes. To see the clash, go to My Calendar and select the relevant dates.
We recommended you refer to your topic information in the Handbook to ensure you meet attendance requirements. For support, please contact your college or submit a Ask Flinders support request.
Some classes are connected, like a lab and a workshop on the same topic. These connected classes are called streams.
When you register for one of these classes, you’ll be automatically registered for the other classes within that stream. You can recognise these classes by a green tick against your classes in My Class Registration in the Student System.
All class activities in a stream are linked together. You can only switch from one stream to another, not between individual class activities. Making changes to an individual class will impact all linked classes.
See class registration for more information.
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 a Ask Flinders support request. Your request will need to include the:
You must also include one of the following reasons for requesting special consideration with your request:
An application will not guarantee you a place in your requested class.
To deregister from a class:
Please note that deregistering from a class is different from withdrawing from a topic. Fees will still apply unless you withdraw from the topic by the census date. You can withdraw from a topic in My Study.
Visit the link below for more information on registering for classes.
If a class is full, you can choose to join the waitlist (if it's available). You can see your position in the waitlist in My Class Registrations. Note that joining the waitlist doesn't guarantee you a place in the class, so you should consider registering in another available class where possible.
It's important to check that you have successfully registered in all required classes before the last day to enrol.
