Unit enrolment

Once the Graduate Research Academy admits you to your course, there are 3 mandatory tasks that you will need to complete in eStudent prior to enrolling. Haven’t used eStudent much before and need help logging in? Watch this tutorial.

The first two mandatory tasks are:

• Accept the Macquarie University Terms and Conditions
• Update your Next of Kin Contact Details.

This tutorial will guide you through the above tasks.

The third task is to:

• Obtain your Unique Student Identifier (USI). The Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a reference number issued by the Australian Government. You can request or recover your Unique Student Identifier via this website: https://www.usi.gov.au/. Once you have done so, you must complete the USI collection form in eStudent. Need some more guidance? Go to the MQ USI webpage.

Before enrolling into your units, please do the following:

• Review the Macquarie’s Course Handbook. Ensure you select the correct course and year version. The Handbook outlines your course structure and unit options.
• Should you wish to have further guidance on unit selection, you can always contact the MRes Advisor or MRes Director.

Enrolling into your units:

Enrol into your units via eStudent.

There are a series of tutorials available in eStudent to help guide you on managing your study plan, enrolling, creating your timetable and withdrawing from your units.

If you are having technical problems enrolling in your units, contact the Graduate Research Lifecycle Team at gr.candidatesupport@mq.edu.au.

If you wish to make any changes to your unit selection, it must be within the first 2 weeks of the session. Please ensure you refer to the Macquarie Course Handbook when selecting your units.

If you wish to withdraw from units, please refer to the Changes to Candidature webpage (refer to the Unit enrolment tab) for more information on important deadlines, as financial and academic penalties can apply.
