Subject information

When can I add or swap subjects?
You must enrol in your subjects on or before the census date for the semester or teaching period you're studying in.
You can add or swap subjects until two weeks before the census date.
Census date is the date in each teaching period by which you need to have your enrolment requirements finalised. You cannot add subjects after the census date. Any withdrawals after the census date will incur the full financial penalty. More information about census dates.
Adding and swapping subjects in the two weeks before the census date
In the two weeks before the census date you can't add or swap subjects via your Study Plan, you must apply to change your enrolment.
Request for Late Subject Enrolment form
Use this form to add or swap subjects. You must pay a late cancellation fee if you cancel subjects and the fee which will be charged to your student account. If you can demonstrate special circumstances, such as medical problems or deferred exams, you may not have to pay the late fee.

What happens next?
We won't approve your application to change your enrolment if:
- the unit coordinator doesn't approve your enrolment
- you have current sanctions on your Bond student account
- the subject is full.
Withdrawing from subjects
Withdrawing from individual subjects can be done via eStudent up until the census date for the current semester (end of week 4). Please use the Subject Withdrawal Request form if applying after the census date. International student visa holders must discuss and seek approval for withdrawal from the International Student Team Coordinator prior to withdrawing. Please note however, that financial penalties will apply for withdrawal after week 2.
Before you withdraw from any subjects, make sure you understand how it might affect your enrolment, grades or fees. Refer to the Academic Calendar. You may still have to pay fees for subjects you withdraw from.

If you have experienced special circumstances beyond your control which impacted your subject(s) for the current or previous semester, you may be eligible to apply for withdrawal without academic and/or financial penalty to have your academic fail grade and/or tutiion fees reversed.
Important information for international students
You should talk to an Enrolment Advisor and the International Student Team before changing your enrolment.
International students studying a whole program at Bond must maintain an enrolment program that allows them to complete their program within the specified timeframe of the confirmation of enrolment(eCoE). Changing your enrolment may mean you can't meet the requirements of your student visa.
If you're a study abroad or exchange student at Bond for one or two semesters, you must make sure you're enrolled in 30 credit points of internal (on-campus) subjects each semester.
