Full-Time Enrolment

Full-time students typically enrol in two (2) units per term, across four (4) terms each year, for a total of eight (8) units annually. Each term lasts six (6) weeks under the Southern Cross Model, offering an intensive but focused learning experience. This study load is ideal for students looking to complete their course as efficiently as possible.

Part-Time Enrolment

Part-time students usually enrol in one (1) unit per term, completing four (4) units per year. This flexible option suits those balancing study with work, family, or other commitments. The six-week terms provide structure while allowing students to progress at a manageable pace.

Before enrolling in your units, you will need to ensure you have scheduled your units according to your course progression.

For step-by-step assistance, please check out our helpful videos below.

Enrolling

Once you have scheduled your units correctly, you are ready to enrol.

1. Click the Enrol button
2. Review the Enrolment Summary for each unit. If the study combination is not correct, you can change it here.
3. Please take note of the important dates.
4. Once you have reviewed, click Confirm.
5. You will receive an information message confirming you have successfully saved your plan.
6. Your Term column will now be green, and each unit will have an Enrolled status next to it.
7. Repeat until you have enrolled in all units for the year.

• Go to My Overview in My Enrolment for a quick glance and your current enrolled units. To view the census date, please go to the My Finance Tile.
• The Census Date is essential because it’s when your enrolment is finalised, and tuition fees are incurred. Withdrawing from units after this date can lead to academic and financial penalties.

After enrolment: What to expect

After enrolling in units, your SCU system accounts will be created overnight. Check your SCU email regularly for official correspondence. MySCU is your online learning environment, accessible using your SCU account login details.

Planning ahead: Get organised for the academic year

• Southern Cross recommends that you plan your studies in advance for the entire academic year, including all teaching periods.
• Manage your enrolment online in the Student Portal where you can make changes to your enrolled units, add new ones, or withdraw up until the start of each teaching period. Consider your available time and how many units you can handle.
• Verify unit availability when planning by using the unit search to see when and where a specific unit is offered.
