Program structure changes

In 2021, the way we delivered our Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology programs at UQ changed.

Students who commenced their studies in 2021 enrolled into a new program structure that was delivered for the first time from 2021.

Students who commenced prior to 2021 and have retained their place in that program, can complete the now discontinued program structure, or they may be able to choose to transition to the current program structure.

What are my options?

I want to continue in the pre-2021 program structure

Please be assured that if you are enrolled in a program that commenced before 2021, you will be able to complete the program structure and rules that were in place when you commenced.

There are transition plan checklists available to guide you through this process.

I want to change to the current program structure

In some instances, pre-2021 students may choose to change to the current program structure. To do this, you will be required to submit a program change request via mySI-net during the program change request application period. You are strongly advised to complete the transition checklist and seek academic advice before requesting a program change. Once a program change is approved, you will not be permitted to return to the discontinued structure.

If you choose to change, you will be required to follow the current structure and program requirements. Please note that in some instances, there are no existing substitutions for compulsory courses in the current program.

This may mean that you will be required to complete additional courses above the minimum program requirements. In addition, due to the progressive rollout of some new course offerings, this may also result in a potential delay to your graduation.

It is very important that students seek academic advice before requesting to change the structure of their program.

Where can I get help?

Checklists have been developed to assist you to make a plan for your enrolment. The checklists outline your enrolment options for continuing in your current program or transitioning to the new program structure.

It is strongly recommended that you download and complete the appropriate checklist and make an appointment to discuss your enrolment with an academic advisor.

The Faculty is also available to assist you if you require any help. Once you have completed a checklist and made a plan, staff in the Faculty are available to check your plan.
