Changes to Undergraduate Courses from 2008

The University of Adelaide is introducing a uniform system of 3 unit values for undergraduate courses. This means that by 2011, every course will have a value of 3, 6, 9 or 12 units. This system will be rolled out as follows:

  • revised Level 1 courses in 2008
  • revised Level 2 courses in 2009
  • revised Level 3 courses in 2010
  • revised Level 4 courses in 2011

Students likely to be affected include those:

  • studying a double or combined program
  • studying part time
  • who commenced study mid-year
  • who have deferred any part of their program
  • who have failed a course and are required to repeat

If you enrolled in a single degree in 2007 or earlier, have studied full-time and have not failed any courses, you are unlikely to be affected unless you are required to study a course that has changed unit values, e.g. a Level 2 course in 2009 or a Level 4 course in 2011.

New students enrolling in 2008 and after will not be affected.

What should I do

If you are enrolling in 2008 and not enrolling in any Level I subjects, don't worry, you are not affected.

If you need to enrol in Level 1 courses and have have credit for subjects before 2008, take a look at the guidelines to know how the transitional arrangement will work. Then email the Faculty Office for advice on course substitution.
