Points to Note:
- If you have changed your name since your last enrolment at Macquarie University, please make sure that you complete the box for “previous family name” with the name under which you were last enrolled. You MUST also present documentary evidence of the change (copy of marriage certificate, deed poll, statutory declaration or the like).
- The only degrees that are offered fully external are the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education) and Bachelor of Laws. If you nominate external study and your degree is not offered by distance you will be required to enroll in the internal degree. Some units of an internal degree may be offered by distance education.
- If your application is approved, you will be re-admitted to the undergraduate degree in which you were originally enrolled, as it was named at the time of your first enrolment. Subsequently, the names of some degrees have changed. For example, students studying Psychology in the Bachelor of Arts program prior to 1999 were enrolled in a BA with the eligibility for Psychology. That degree is now called a BA-Psychology.
If you wish to graduate with a particular named degree, you may apply to transfer internally to that degree. Full details on internal degree transfers can be obtained from the Student Enquiry Service, or from the Web at http://www.reg.mq.edu.au/undergrad. Alternatively, if you satisfy the requirements for a particular named degree, you are eligible to graduate with that degree. You should contact the Academic Program Section for further information Ph: (02) 9850 6497.
- If you were previously enrolled at Macquarie University and you were excluded for taking an unduly long time to complete your degree or if you failed a required (LAW/IEC/TEP/ACCG) unit twice, re-admission is not automatic.
- Your case will need to be considered by the Ranking Committee of the Coursework Studies Committee, and you will need to supply documents to support your case for re-admission. Such documents should provide evidence to indicate that your circumstances have improved substantially since you were enrolled, and that you would now have a reasonable chance of succeeding in your studies if your were re-admitted. If you do not provide such documentation, your application will not be considered.
- Please read the declaration carefully, and then sign and date the form.
