Enrolling in the Bachelor of Nursing
We know that enrolling in your Bachelor of Nursing (BNurs) can be confusing. You can use the information on this page to help you with enrolling in your courses.
When enrolling, we recommend that you:
- Enrol in your courses for the whole year - this means enrolling in courses for both both Semester One and Two. This is the best way to avoid missing out on a place in your courses.
- Enrol for Semester One first, then enrol for Semester Two.
- Enrol as soon as you accept your offer of place to study the BNurs. This helps ensure you avoid missing out choosing a cohort with times that work best for you.
Please note that you must complete all the core Stage One Nursing courses before progressing to Stage Two Nursing.

Enrolling in courses as a first-year Bachelor of Nursing student
Most Bachelor of Nursing students in their first year will enrol in courses via a cohort. There are instructions below on how to enrol in a cohort.
Students who have transferred into the Bachelor of Nursing
If you’ve transferred into the BNurs from another tertiary institution and been awarded credit, or you’re a current UoA student who has completed some Stage One BNurs courses under another programme, you’ll need to enrol in your courses individually using Class Search.
Please make sure you select the Non Cohort Nursing-specific streams.
For a guide on how to enrol in courses individually and using the Class Search method, go to How to enrol in a course.
Enrolling in courses through a cohort
You enrol using the ‘Search by cohort’ process to select your courses. A cohort means that your courses are pre-selected by your faculty to make sure you have a clash-free timetable.

Making changes to your enrolment
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 to withdraw from your cohort enrolment, complete the Changes to your Cohort enrolment form.
