How to apply for a concession

• If you need to enrol in a course but don’t have the prerequisites or you have a timetable clash, most courses give you the option to apply for an enrolment concession online.
• If you're a Study Abroad, exchange or transfer student, you need to apply for concession for all courses with prerequisites, as you wouldn’t have completed the prerequisites at The University of Auckland.
• Like any online enrolment, it must be done before the additions and deletions deadline date for the term (semester). See When to enrol. Please note that enrolment concessions for Semester One 2012 have closed.

Apply for a concession

1. Sign into Student Services Online.
2. Begin enrolling in the course.
3. Ignore validation error messages about the reason you need to apply for a concession.
4. Continue enrolling online until the final stage, which is after you have accepted the terms and conditions of enrolment. The enrolment error message will appear.
5. If the option to apply for a concession is available for the enrolment you want to complete, a Concessions button will show below the error message table. If the button’s not there, it means concessions for that enrolment error (such as a missing prerequisite) are not available for this course.

7. Select a course (Subject/Catalogue) for which you want to apply for an enrolment concession.
