Key enrolment dates

Don't be caught out by missing OUA's key dates.

These include the dates for Study Periods, which apply to most undergraduate units, and for Sessions, which apply to most postgraduate units. Many preparatory units are open continuously, while OUA's enabling units have varied study terms.

Key dates include the Close of Enrolment, Census Date and academic events such as exams. Don't forget to use your Study Planner to get yourself organised!

Exams are usually held in the weeks following the end of each Study Period or Session. Find out more in the Exams key dates.

Important Dates

Please note: Most undergraduate units and most TAFE units and a few postgraduate units offered through OUA are offered in Study Periods. Most postgraduate units are offered in Session Sessions, but a few postgraduate units are now full-year units and follow the dates shown below.
