What if I am currently studying the prerequisite unit?
Return to: Ask OUA @ UniSA Home > Prerequisites
In some instances you could be studying the prerequisite unit but
need to forward enrol for a succeeding unit in the next study period.
If you are undertaking the Bachelor of Accounting and are currently
studying the prerequisite unit, The School of Commerce have decided to
allow you to enrol in the 'higher' level unit in the next study
period.
Please be aware that the final results release date of the prerequisite
unit you are studying will be after the week 3 census date of the next
study period. This means that your final grade for the
prerequisite unit will not be available until well into the next study period.
To ensure that progress though your program is not interrupted, the
School of Commerce will waive the prerequisite requirement for you in
this instance. Accordingly, if you do not pass you will not
be required to
withdraw from the 'higher' level unit although this would ordinarily be
recommended.
Please note: Although approval is granted to enrol in the 'higher'
level unit while still completing the prerequisite unit, it is your
responsibility and decision to enrol without successful completion of
the prerequisite. Our experience shows that students that have not
passed a prerequisite can be challenged by the difficulty of a
succeeding unit. As an alternative to enrolling in the higher
level unit it is advised that you consider enrolling in any other available
unit where the prerequisites have already been completed or none are
required.
In order to unlock the prerequisite/s and enrol for the succeeding unit
in the next study period, email the
OUA Student Advisers.
You will need to include the following details in your email: full name,
OUA id number or date of birth and unit code/name/study period of the unit
in which you are enrolling.
Upon receipt your email request the
OUA Student Advisers will advise OUA that you have been granted
exemption from the prerequisite. You will be copied into the email
to OUA so that you know that this has been done and can proceed with
your enrolment.
