To add, drop, or change any of your current courses, or withdraw from study completely, you must follow the correct procedure by submitting a change of enrolment in myUC by the relevant deadline. Your application then goes through an approval process via the department/school and sometimes the student advisors.
Key dates for enrolment changes
Before you make the change, make sure you are aware of the key dates for enrolment and withdrawal from courses. Fee refunds are only applicable for changes submitted by the relevant deadline.
Change of enrolment process
To make changes to your current enrolment:
- Go to myUC.
- Log in using your UC "Username" and "Password".
- Click on "Manage my study" and then 'Change enrolment'.
- Proceed with your change of enrolment application, following the instructions and make sure you complete the application by clicking on "submit".
More detailed instructions are available here.
If you have not heard anything about your change of enrolment application within one week, please call 0800 827 748, email enrol@canterbury.ac.nz, or contact one of the student advisors to find out what the status of your application is.
What happens next?
Approvals are based on meeting the required prerequisites for a course, your workload (number of points enrolled in) and degree requirements. If the change has been approved, you will be sent a notification of change in myUC with details of the changes that have been made to your enrolment.
If the change is not approved, your application will be declined. You will be sent notification of this. The Student Advisors may contact you to offer advice about your options.
How will my loan, allowance and fees be affected?
Changing or withdrawing from your courses will have implications for your fees. If you have a student allowance and/or loan, these may be affected as well. You should make sure you know exactly what the implications will be for you, BEFORE you submit an application for a change of enrolment.
Academic advice
Before you submit a change to your enrolment, you are recommended to get some academic advice. You can contact the relevant department teaching your courses or contact the Student Advisor.
