Summer, winter and November teaching periods

Summer and winter semesters are a great option for current students looking to accelerate their course progression.

The teaching period is usually much shorter and more condensed than a standard semester, but the overall class hours remain the same. For example, instead of attending three hours of class per week for 12 weeks, you might have all-day classes for a week (this can vary between units).

How to select a unit and enrol

November intake

The November 12-week teaching period offers new students the opportunity to get a head start on their studies before the main academic year begins.

For more information about this intake (including key dates, which faculties are participating and how to apply), head to our November intake site.

How to enrol

If you’ve received an offer for our November intake, you’ll need to enrol in units to accept your offer before the deadline outlined in your offer letter.

For instructions on selecting and enrolling in units, see our enrolling for the first time page.

November teaching period

The units listed on our November intake site are also available to current students. You can enrol via WES from 1 August, unless stated otherwise in the unit entry on the non-standard dates page.

If you can’t add a unit in WES, submit an Enrolment Amendment Form.

Check if your unit has non-standard dates

Some units have teaching, enrolment and withdrawal dates that differ from the standard November teaching period – we call these units with non-standard dates. To check the dates and enrolment information for these units, see units with non-standard dates.
