We recommend that you choose first year units, but if you speak with a 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 (Audit) study because participation in grammar classes and tutorials are essential to complete the course of study.

Not sure what unit to choose? Browse the UWA Handbook.

We also recommend you contact the respective Student Advising Office 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 Unit Readings.

Please note that certain units in some professionally accredited postgraduate courses are not available via AccessUWA.

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

After choosing your units and speaking with a relevant Student Adviser, you are ready to submit an AccessUWA application.

You will be required to provide evidence of your citizenship (using a passport, birth certificate or Australian citizenship certificate).

Once you have successfully submitted your application online, you will receive a confirmation email.

Approval is not guaranteed and is subject to the availability of places, the decision of the relevant 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 school, which has to be completed through the AccessUWA program.

If your application is successful you'll receive a request for payment of your tuition fee. On receipt of your payment you will receive an email indicating that you can attend lectures for your chosen unit(s). 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 are payable in full by the relevant due date as stated in your approval email.

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 [email protected] and will incur a $150 administration fee. A non-refundable $150 late fee is applicable to all applications received after the specified application closing date.
