Receiving an offer

ANU will send you an offer or rejection by email. If you do receive an offer, follow the instructions about how to accept it. We'll then send you details about how to enrol in your Course.

Non-Award offers

A Non-Award offer means that you can only enrol in the first course, LAWS8167, on a probationary basis.  You will not be eligible for FEE-HELP. On successful completion of LAWS8167 you can complete the rest of the Program as an Award Student, and you may be eligible for FEE-HELP.

Paying fees

After you enrol, you'll receive an ANU invoice through your student email account.  Follow the instructions on the invoice to pay your fees.  If you have questions about the invoice call the Fees Office on 02 6125 8124.

Wattle

Wattle stands for Web Access to Teaching and Learning Environment.  When your Course begins, you will meet teachers and fellow students online in Courses that appear in Wattle.  Course material, resources, discussion forums, calendars, quizzes and online activities will all be delivered through Wattle.  There are quick access links to Wattle  throughout this website.  For Wattle problems:

T: 1300 544 894 Mon-Fri 8am - 10pm, Sat - Sun 9am - 5pm

ISIS

ISIS stands for 'Interactive Student Information System'.  You will need ISIS to enrol in the Program.

You will use ISIS to update your address details, to register or change your enrolment, and to change your password.  You should always check ISIS the day after you change your enrolment to ensure that your enrolment record and customer accounts details have been updated correctly.

Deferring study

If you're offered a place in the Program but find that you can't begin studying in the session for which you applied, accept the online offer for the original term. Then send a request for the later term to certmigration@law.anu.edu.au. We'll contact you closer to your preferred starting date.

If you can't start in the same year as the original date you applied for, you will need to re-apply in the year that you want to begin your studies.

You cannot apply for FEE-HELP until after you have enrolled in your Course/s BUT you must apply for FEE-HELP before the Census date of the Course/s. 

Online/blended teaching mode

During each 10 week Course, you may be offered up to two weekends of face to face teaching, giving you the opportunity to meet your expert practitioner teachers, and your fellow students.  Details about these face to face classes will be posted once your Courses begin.

We strongly recommend that you attend, if you can.

Student card

Every student must have an ANU Student Card.  You will need this card to identify yourself at the invigilated (supervised) exam or assessment in each Course in the Program. Apply for an ANU student card (pdf 50KB)

Applying for FEE-HELP

You cannot apply for FEE-HELP until after you have enrolled in your Course/s BUT you must apply for FEE-HELP before the Census date of the Course/s

To apply for FEE-HELP, log in to ISIS as an enrolled student and complete the online e-CAF form (electronic Commonwealth Awards Form)
