Further instructions are shown below. Please note that you must ensure that you do not drop or swap any course unit that is a mandatory course unit within your programme regulations. You must ensure that any changes you make to your course unit selections still satisfy your programmes academic advisement rules.

Failure to swap a unit before the end of the two week course unit swap period may mean you will not be allowed to register for the examinations in the unit to which you have changed. You will not normally be allowed to transfer off or onto a unit after the <strong>end of the second week of<\/strong> <strong>teaching (Friday 5pm)\u00a0<\/strong>in each semester.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biomedical Sciences students only:<\/strong> please note that due to the number of mandatory units in semester two Biomedical Sciences students will not be able to make any course unit changes to units in semester two.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Drop, Swap and Edit a Course unit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have enrolled for a course unit(s) you can make changes to your selection by using the drop and swap functionality.
