Elective courses
- Elective courses in your program structure must be completed
- Elective courses allow you the freedom to tailor your program toward your personal or professional interests
- Most programs have a restriction on the number of introductory level courses (100 coded) you are allowed to study, so please check your program requirements before selecting elective courses
- Some courses may also include a compulsory field trip, requiring payment of an additional fee and may be held outside of the regular teaching weeks, ie on weekends or during semester breaks
- Elective courses may be used to add a major or minor area of study to your program (Faculty of Arts, Business and Law majors and minors or Faculty of Science, Health, Education and Engineering majors and minors)

Enabling courses
Enabling courses are offered to support you in achieving academic success. Courses are held before the start of each semester, and as weekly tutorials throughout the teaching year.
The Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) offers a range of enabling courses in key areas. These courses allow you to learn new skills, refresh your knowledge, and increase your potential for excellent results in your undergraduate degree program.
Enabling courses are free-of-charge to Commonwealth-supported and International students, they don’t count towards your degree and they have no impact on your overall university grades.
