Rule Waiver

You should complete and submit a rule waiver request if you want to:

• Enrol in a unit that has requirements/rules you have not met.
• Enrol in more than the maximum permitted credit points for a session
• Enrol in a unit that is not at your home campus (not required for Summer Session).
• Enrol in a unit after the self-enrolment period of a session.

Student's on Conditional Enrolment cannot use a Rule Waiver to enrol in more credit points than their Conditional Enrolment allows.

For detailed information about course and unit rules  visit the course and unit rules webpage.

Rule Waiver applications can now be completed online via the eForm Portal.(opens in a new window)

Please seek academic advice prior to submitting a Rule Waiver application.

1. Click the 'Find Forms' button, then select 'Rule Waiver Request' from the list of online forms available
2. The form will open as an Adobe PDF. You will need Adobe Acrobat on your PC for this to happen. Adobe Acrobat is freeware, which can be downloaded from Adobe
3. Complete and submit the form online before the census date. A copy of your request will be emailed to you for your records
4. You will receive an email advising you of the outcome of your request. Please allow seven working days for this to happen. Most requests will be completed much faster than this, but we need to allow time for your Director of Academic Program to assess your request. If your request is approved, you will automatically be enrolled in the unit. You do not have to go into MySR to add the unit
