How much does it cost?
Tuition fees are payable for all Non-Award course enrolments and are charged by unit of credit (UOC) according to the classification of the course/s. Please refer to the Fees section of myUNSW.
Rules and Guidelines
Non-award enrolment in a course may be permitted provided that the student has appropriate educational qualifications, satisfies the University's English language proficiency requirement and any pre and/or co requisites the course may have and in each case the Program Authority must believe that the student will benefit from the enrolment.
The enrolment of a student will be on the provision that sufficient places are available in the course and that the enrolment does not prevent a place in the course being available to a student in a UNSW award program.
In general, a non-award student will not be permitted to enrol in more than 24 units of credit in any one academic year.
As a rule, the University does not accept non-award enrolments in first year undergraduate courses.
