You can request to change the time of your class within the same course, to fit better with your timetable and lifestyle.

Check class is available for swap

Before trying to swap a class, check that another class is available.

Check for timetable clashes

Before requesting a change to your class time, check your timetable to avoid a clash with your other classes.

If you have a timetable clash and there is a very good reason for you to be exempted from attending classes for one of the courses (for example you are repeating a course), when you submit the request, add a note about the clash in the supporting information section of the form.

New student, not yet enrolled

If you are a new student and not yet fully enrolled and want to make changes to your application, please login to your Enrolment Dashboard and use the ‘Request an update’ button to request a change. Or you can email us at study@unitec.ac.nz or call us on 0800 10 95 10.

Fees and StudyLink

If you want to change a class time but the course remains the same, there are no changes to your fees or credits, and you don’t need to let StudyLink know.

If your request is approved

If your change is approved, you can attend your new class as soon as you receive the approval email. The new course will be on Moodle the day after enrolment. Your name may not appear on the class register immediately.

If your request is declined

If your Change Enrolment request has been declined due to a class being full, it is very likely that Unitec have already tried adding another class without success and you will need to remain in your class.

How to request a change to your class time

This process is to change the class time within the same course.

You need to know that:

  • The form does not save your details until you submit your request.
  • You can change more than one thing, for example, change a class time and add a different course within the same request.
  • If you have already submitted a change request, you will have to wait for that request to be completed before you can submit another request.
