Enrolment timing and course changes
|
Students may enrol in courses once they have been admitted to a programme of study and have accepted their offer of place online. We strongly encourage students to enrol early to secure preferred courses and class times. This guidance applies to both new and returning students at the University of Auckland. Students may make changes to their enrolment, including swapping or dropping courses, provided this is done before the enrolment closing date. Please note that once enrolled, students are liable for course fees. Courses must be dropped by the closing date to avoid being charged. For full details and important dates, please click here to learn more. |
Programme and course limitations selection criteria
|
The University has confirmed limited-entry programmes and courses for 2026 under the provisions of the Limitation of Entry Statute 1991. Due to capacity and staffing constraints, enrolments in specified programmes and courses will be capped.
