Re-enrol as a continuing student

Re-enrol to add courses/subjects for the next semester or year, and secure your place in your program.

Complete your mandatory onboarding modules
Remember to complete your mandatory modules. Some students will not be able to enrol in 2025 courses until they have completed the modules, so we highly recommend completing the modules as soon as possible.

By re-enrolling, you are telling the University what your study intentions are for the next year. This helps us plan how many classes (tutorials, workshops, practicals, etc) each course will have and room sizes so we can provide you with the best possible study experience.

When do I need to re-enrol?

At the end of each year, all continuing students (students who are currently completing an RMIT program) must re-enrol or take an approved leave of absence during the enrolment period. If you don't re-enrol or take leave, you risk losing your place in your program. 

The re-enrolment period starts when Enrolment Online opens in October and ends on the last date to add classes, as listed in your important dates

  • Timely enrolment deadline - This is the deadine you'll be given towards the end of each academic year, and it's the date by which you're strongly recommended to enrol in classes. This enables you to secure your preferred classes, as well as avoid late enrolment which can lead to cancellation or other disadvantage.
  • Final enrolment deadline - This is the last date to add classes as listed in your important dates. You must be re-enrolled by this date to avoid cancellation and other academic and financial penalties.

For information about enrolling in classes after the last day to add, see the Change or cancel your enrolment page.

If you owe a debt to the University, you’ll need to pay this before you can re-enrol. Find out about your fees and payment options.
