student administration
Staff at Student Administration provide information on current student
enrolments, academic transcripts, examinations, fees, graduations,
MET concession cards, results and student cards. here
academic progress
The following website contains information on special examinations
and supplementary examinations, as well as unsatisfactory progress:
here
First year students who fail 50% of their subjects in their first semester
of study will be asked to attend a Students at Risk (SAR)
interview with a Faculty course advisor to look at ways of improving and
supporting their academic performance:
here
Other progress-related acronyms you may come across include:
- MDI (Mandatory Departmental Interview)
- UPC (Unsatisfactory Progress Committee)
access cards
To obtain an access card that will give you 24-hour access to the ECR
(Engineering Computer Resource lab) you should:
- Go to the CSHE (Centre for the Study of Higher Education) building
in Monash Road and ask for an access card at Reception.
- Bring the card to Engineering Reception (Old
Engineering).
- Provide your personal details (student number, full name,
access card number, course commencement/expected completion
dates) on an access control cards
request form.
This information will be forwarded to the University's
Security Office and your card will be activated within
one to two weeks.
Please note that:
- Your access card can also be programmed to give you access
to a lab you may need to use in your Department. Check
with your Departmental Office about obtaining the necessary authorisation.
- If your card is faulty, go to Engineering Reception and complete
the required report slip. The Security Office will investigate
the problem and the card will be re-activated.
- Access cards do NOT need to be re-activated each year. The
card will remain valid until your expected course completion
date.
You will be required to return the card to Engineering Reception
once you complete your course.
address change
It is vital that you keep your address and other contact details
up-to-date. You can update your personal details online on the Student
Information System (SIS):
https://sis.unimelb.edu.au/
alternative exam arrangements
If you have an ongoing health issue or temporary health problem
that is affecting your ability to sit an examination under
normal exam conditions, contact the Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) or
Faculty Disability Liaison Officer (FDLO) to make alternative exam arrangements:

changing courses
Students wishing to change from one BE stream to another, or from
one BE (IT) stream to another, should speak to a course advisor in
the Faculty of Engineering Office. If you decide that you want to change
streams, it is best to make the change as early in your course as possible,
as it will limit the number of core subjects you may have to pick up in
order to complete core subject requirements in the new stream.
Students wishing to transfer from a BE stream (Chemical & Biomolecular,
Civil, Mechanical) to one of the BE(IT) streams (Computer, Electrical,
Software), or vice versa, will need to submit an internal transfer application
via the Student Information System (SIS):
https://sis.unimelb.edu.au
Student wishing to transfer to a combined course or a single degree
course within another Faculty will also need to submit an internal
transfer application
via the Student Information System (SIS):
https://sis.unimelb.edu.au
Speak to a course advisor in the Melbourne School of Engineering Office
if you have any questions regarding transfer.
changing subjects
Subjects can be changed online through the Student Administration
System (SIS) during designated course planning periods;
at other times they can be changed on an application to change
subject form available from Engineering Reception.
If you wish to change your subjects online:
- Read the information on subject selection
on the Melbourne School of Engineering website
- Go to Subject Selection on
the Student Information System (SIS):
sis.unimelb.edu.au/cgi-bin/subject-change.pl
- Login by entering you student number
and personal identification number (PIN)
- Follow the instructions as listed
on the web
- Ensure you write down your receipt number when you
finish. If you don't have a receipt number at the end of
the process then you have not submitted your subject selections.
How to proceed if your subject selection is not approved
Subject selection on the SIS sometimes finds it difficult to calculate
the points of your current enrolment. It also isn't smart
enough to recognise students with exemptions or credits, so it won't
know that you satisfy a prerequisite if you have an exemption or
credit. The important thing is to remain patient. Course advisors will manually
go through all the subject selection errors, but this can sometimes
take up to five working days.
If you are confident that your subject selection is okay then don't
panic. You do NOT need to email or phone us to tell us that it okay!
If your subject selection is not approved then we will send you an
email (to your university email account) advising that you need to lodge
another plan.
Avoiding problems and delays
Make sure that you make changes by the appropriate deadlines to
avoid getting a WD (withdrawn) or N (fail) result for the
subject(s), or losing a portion of your fees. Also check that you
meet the prerequisites for
the subject(s) you wish to take before submitting your application to
change subjects; if this is not the case, you will also need to provide
a note from the subject coordinator permitting you to enrol in the subject.

guaranteed transfers (transferring from an Australian full fee
to a CSP place)
Students who accepted their preferred course on an Australian
fee place basis, can apply to transfer to a Commonwealth Supported
Place (CSP) after successfully completing a minimum of 100 points of
study. These students will be guaranteed a CSP place provided they achieve
an overall grade average of 75% across a minimum of 100 points (this
represents a full-time course load across one year of study).
In the case of combined degrees, students can apply
to transfer to a CSP place in either or both components of the combined
degree. To be guaranteed a CSP place in one component of the course, students
must achieve an overall grade average of 75% across a minimum of 75 points of
that component of the combined degree.
To apply to transfer to a CSP place, you are required to submit an
application for internal transfer form via the Student
Information System (SIS) during the designated periods (towards the
end of each semester).
