Enrol in your subjects

Before you enrol

Enrolling in your subjects each semester is essential to access classes, resources, and assessments. At Bond, enrolment is a three-step process via eStudent: plan your subjects, enrol, and register for classes. 

New students

If you’re a new student, you can enrol once you’ve accepted your offer and organised payment of your tuition fees. Enrolment for new students opens in Week 11 of the semester before you commence and remains open until Orientation Week. Continuing students should enrol during the pre-registration period to avoid late fees. 

Class registration opens in Week 11 so your enrolment and registration can be completed at the same time.

Review the academic calendar for key dates, including census date (Friday of Week 4). Conditions and fees may apply for changes after this date. 

Activate your Bond IT account online or at Student Assist. This gives you access to MyBond, eStudent, email, Wi-Fi, and other services. 

Download MyBond in your app store, more information available here. 

Continuing students

Continuing students enrol in subjects for the following semester during Weeks 10 to 12 of the previous semester using eStudent. Refer to your program structure and sequence to plan the correct subjects and study period. 

Class Registration opens in Week 11, one week after enrolment.
 

What is eStudent?

eStudent is the online system you access to:

  • enrol online (once you have received confirmation that you are Admitted in your program)
  • choose subjects and select classes to create your timetable
  • check semester results

It’s important to keep your contact details up to date in eStudent so you don’t miss any important information.

Step 2: Enrol in subjects

Your Study Plan is based on your program structure and sequence. The program structure and sequence outlines all the subjects required to complete your program, including compulsory and elective subjects, and usually includes a list of the subjects you should choose in your first semester.

Some of your subjects will already be scheduled (planned) into a semester, options/electives/minors/majors may be unscheduled (unplanned) in your Study Plan.

Selecting the appropriate pathway options is essential to ensure you stay on track with your program requirements.

Credit

If you are a new student who has been granted credit in recognition of prior learning, you would have received a study plan designed specifically for you, with your offer.

If you’ve completed previous studies or have relevant work experience, you may be eligible for credit. If you are currently studying and want to apply for credit for upcoming subjects based on prior study or experience, you will need to follow the below process. Learn about how to apply for credit here. Approved credit will appear in your Academic History in eStudent.

If you have approved credit this will be reflected in your study plan and you will need to add subjects to the semesters where you may only have two subjects planned to maintain a full-time study load.

Requisites

Subject requisites are conditions applied to subjects that must be met prior to enrolment in a particular unit. There are different types of subject requisites.

  • Pre-requisites: Certain conditions need to be met (e.g. completing a specific unit) before you can enrol in the specified unit.
  • Co-requisites: Units that must be studied together. If you withdraw from one unit, you will be automatically withdrawn from the other.
  • Anti-requisites: Units that are similar in content, may be listed as anti-requisites of each other. This prevents you from enrolling into two similar units.
Sanctions
  • A sanction is a notification applied to a student's record. Some sanctions may restrict access to resources, such as the ability to enrol, amend subjects, access results, or graduate. If a sanction applies to you, a sanction notification will appear in the Sanctions tile on the homepage of MyBond and in My Details in eStudent. Debt or overdue fees sanction alerts will also appear on your Dashboard and in your My Finances in eStudent.
  • Admissions sanctions – identified by the Admissions or ADM in the name: then outstanding conditions or documents as outlined in your offer letter.  Contact the Office of Admissions to resolve [email protected]
  • Academic Status sanctions are related to your grades and marks – further information can be obtained from Student Assist [email protected]
  • Safe and respectful rules indicate that you still need to complete the named module – information on this is available here.

Late enrolment penalty

All continuing students must be enrolled by Friday of Week 12 to avoid a late enrolment penalty, which is currently $350. 

Changes to enrolment after Week 2

You can make changes to your enrolment via eStudent until the end of Week 2. After this, you can still withdraw until census date (end of Week 4 for standard subjects). To add a subject after the last enrolment date and before census, you’ll need written permission from the subject Lead Educator and forward it to Student Assist for consideration. 

Complete the academic integrity module 

Once you’ve finalised your enrolment, all new students must complete the compulsory Academic Integrity Module. This short module explains the importance of academic integrity and how to avoid misconduct. You only need to complete it once.
