Changing your course

If you wish to apply to change course (including enrolling in Honours) you need to have studied for at least one teaching period.

To apply to change course you must submit a completed Course Transfer application form to:

• Townsville: Your Faculty Office

• Cairns: Student Enquiry Centre

It is important to ensure that you have the necessary prerequisite subjects at Queensland Year 12 level (or equivalent) before submitting your application. Your application will be forwarded to an Associate Dean or Faculty Registrar for approval.

If you are applying for one of the following courses (Medicine, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy and Veterinary Science) you must also submit the appropriate internal application form available from the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Molecular Sciences by the due date.

Applications should be lodged as soon as possible, at least six weeks prior to the commencement of the study period, that is, 20 June 2008 for study period 2.

If you intend to change course, do not enroll in subjects for your current course for the same study period.

If your Course Transfer application is approved you will be sent an offer to the new course. To accept this offer, you will need to complete the Offer Response form and return it to JCU by the lapse date. In most cases your offer will be emailed to your JCU email address. You may scan the completed form and email to EnrolmentsTownsville@jcu.edu.au or EnrolmentsCairns@jcu.edu.au or return the form to the Student Enquiry Centre.

If your application to change course is unsuccessful, you will remain enrolled in your current course. If you do not wish to continue your current course, you will need to formally withdraw from any future enrolled subjects and form the course.

Changing your major

If you decide to change major within your course you cannot do so online. You will need to consult with your faculty. If approved, once your Study Plan has been modified, you will be able to continue enrolling online via eStudent into the subjects for the new major. You cannot change your major after the census date.

Do you also want to apply for advanced standing (credit for previous studies)?

You may also wish to apply for advanced standing for the subjects you have already completed – these subjects are not automatically credited to the new course. Please complete the advanced standing section of your Course Transfer Application form.
