Enrolling in the Bachelor of Commerce

Before you enrol we recommend that you:

• Enrol as soon as you accept your offer of place. This is to avoid missing out on choosing courses scheduled at times that works best for you.
• Enrol into courses for both semesters at the same time, this helps you avoid missing out on a place in your required courses. 
• Enrol for Semester One first, then Semester Two. 
• Enrol in a maximum of 60 points/four courses in your first semester of study.
• Check out our Degree planners page. This page has one-page planners that help give you an idea of what courses you need to enrol into.

Please note, before progressing further in your majors, you must prioritise completing the Stage I Business Core courses.

To enrol in all of your courses you will use Student Services Online.

Enrolling in a Bachelor of Commerce as a single degree means that you are only studying for a Bachelor of Commerce and no other degrees.

If you are enrolling in your Bachelor of Commerce for the first time, you can enrol using Timetable Planner. Below is information on how to enrol for Semester One and Two of your first year.

Enrolling in courses for your first semester

For your first semester of study, you can choose to enrol in individual courses or enrol in a cohort. Cohort enrolment is a quick and simple way for BCom students to enrol in a set of four pre-selected courses, scheduled over two days, in a clash-free timetable. Enrolling into a cohort means that you will move together with the same group of students as you attend your classes across these four courses.

Option 1: Enrolling in individual courses

Choose this option if you would like to build your own timetable and personally select classes that fit around your other commitments.

Step-by-step enrolment:

• Sign into Student Services Online
• Click the 'Enrol' icon, and go to 'Add classes with’
• Choose 'Timetable Planner' and select the semester you want before clicking the green 'Timetable Planner' button
• Click the 'Add Course' button
  • Select 'Search By Subject' tab
  • Select 'Subject' and 'Course'
  • Click 'Add Course'

Option 2: Enrolling in a cohort

Cohort enrolment allows you to enrol in a pre-selected package of four courses with a clash-free timetable. All you need to do is choose a cohort option that best works for you and let the system work out the timetable for your required courses.

Enrolling in this way not only takes the guesswork out of creating a schedule, but gives you access to an instant community by keeping you with the same group of students throughout all your classes.

This encourages you to make connections with the same group of students throughout your first year of study.

Enrolling in a cohort is only available in Semester One for the courses we have pre-selected for you. If the cohort option is full, you can choose the other option. Students in all cohorts will take BUSINESS 111, 114, and 115.

Step-by-step enrolment:

• Sign into Student Services Online
• Click the 'Enrol' icon, and go to 'Add classes with'
• Choose 'Timetable Planner' and select the semester you want before clicking the green 'Timetable Planner' button
• Clock the 'Add Course' button and select the 'Search by Cohort' tab
  • Under 'Programme', choose your programme 'Bachelor of Commerce'
  • Under 'Cohort' choose a cohort option. Look for 'Business Core Courses Year 1 - Colour Option XX'. You will be able to preview the timetable for your chosen cohort option.
  • You can view other timetable combinations by choosing different cohort options.
• Once you've finished, click 'Add'.

• Students in all cohorts will take BUSINESS 111, 114, and 115.
• Four cohorts include INFOSYS 110 as the fourth course, and two include STATS 108.
• Cohorts including INFOSYS 110 will have a 1-hour LECTURE, plus a 1-hour LAB.

Cohort enrolment disclaimer

Please note that the University may not be able to accommodate your personal commitments in the available cohort options. This is because we work to ensure that you have access to clash-free timetables. If you do not enrol through the correct process, you may be unenrolled from your courses.  

Cohort Blue

Cohort Green

Cohort Red

Cohort Orange

Cohort Purple

Cohort Yellow

Enrolling in courses for your second semester 

Cohort enrolment is not available in Semester Two because students begin taking different combinations of courses. 

All students enrol in Semester Two courses individually using Timetable Planner. 

Step-by-step enrolment:

• Click the ‘Change’ button and select ‘2026 Semester Two’.
• Click the 'Add Course' button
  • Select 'Search By Subject' tab
  • Select 'Subject' and 'Course'
  • Click 'Add Course'
• Click 'Done' to return to the main page for Timetable Planner
• Click 'Generate Timetables' to see a detailed view of the timetable and click 'View/Submit'
• Click 'Send to Enrolment Cart'
• Accept the Terms and Conditions and click on 'Confirm Enrolment'
• If you are transferring from another university and have been approved for a credit transfer of your previous courses, you will need to enrol in your courses individually using the ‘By subject’ tab.

A conjoint degree consists of two undergraduate programmes. 

For a list of all Bachelor of Commerce conjoint degrees available, please visit the Conjoints by faculty page. 

Students doing a conjoint programme are encouraged to start both degrees in their first semester. It is normal to take a balance of courses from both degrees in both semesters of your first year.

For the BCom component of the conjoint degree

If you are doing a conjoint programme you will need to enrol in your courses individually. You will be enrolling in this way from your first semester of study. Cohort enrolment is not an option for conjoint students.

Before progressing further in courses required for your BCom major(s), you must prioritise completing the Stage I Business Core courses.

It's highly recommended that you enrol in BUSINESS 111 as early as possible in your degree. This course is a prerequisite for BUSINESS 112 (and BUSINESS 113 for the Business Navigators programme). If you have space, we also recommend prioritising BUSINESS 114 and BUSINESS 115 early in your degree.

In most cases, you can change your course enrolments on Student Services Online. 

For more information on how to swap, drop or edit a course, visit Changing your enrolment.

Making changes to enrolments made via Cohort

If you are enrolled in a cohort you will need to contact us to change your enrolments. Even if you only want to remove one course, you will need to drop and re-enrol your full cohort.

We recommend that you request to change your cohort only in exceptional circumstances.

To request a change or withdraw from your cohort enrolment, complete the Changes to your Cohort enrolment form.

If you need help, we recommend that you visit your nearest Student Hub.
