AccessUWA: Non-assessed

We recommend that you choose first year units, but if you speak with a faculty student adviser you might be able to apply for second and third year units. Not all units are available through this option.

Studying subjects in Language Other Than English (LOTE) units are not generally available as non-assessed study through AccessUWA because participation in grammar classes and tutorials are essential to complete the course of study.

Not sure what unit to choose? The UWA Handbook contains all the unit descriptions, unit codes and any prerequisites.

Alternatively, you can contact the respective faculty and school staff who can assist with choice of units and whether you need to meet any prerequisites. Be aware that non-assessed students do not have access to lecture recordings or online course materials but they are eligible to apply to register for Community Membership at the UWA Library. This membership provides limited access to library resources, but does not give access to Course Materials Online (CMO).

To check if your unit is run on a suitable day and time, visit Venue and Timetabling or contact the relevant faculty or school.

Once you have successfully submitted your application online, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a request for payment of your tuition fees and asks you to provide evidence of your citizenship (using a passport, birth certificate or Australian citizenship certificate).

Tuition fees must be paid by cheque or money order.

Approval is not guaranteed and is subject to the availability of places, the decision of the relevant faculty/school, and the statutes and regulations of UWA. Approval is not granted to students directly by individual professors, and enrolment is based on formal acceptance from the relevant faculty, which has to be completed through the AccessUWA program.

If your application is successful you'll receive an email indicating that you can attend lectures for your chosen unit or units. This email will include information on how to find information on your timetable and venue.

Should you have any questions about submitting an AccessUWA application, email Admissions.

Also take note of the important academic dates for withdrawing and adding units.

As you will be studying non-assessed units through AccessUWA outside of a formal degree, HECS-HELP/FEE-HELP is not available, and units need to be paid for up-front and in full.

Tuition fees must be paid prior to the relevant application closing date.

For details of all fees, email Admissions.

Late fees and withdrawals

All requests for transfers and withdrawals for AccessUWA enrolments must be advised in writing by emailing admissions@uwa.edu.au and will incur a $100 administration fee. A non-refundable $100 late fee is applicable to all applications received after the specified application closing date.
