Application and enrolment
You have two options for applying and enrolling in our professional development short courses.
1. Enrolling through the Sydney School of Public Health
2. Enrolling as a non-award student
1. Enrolling through the Sydney School of Public Health
Enrolling through the School is a more informal type of enrolment. It means that:
- you may be expected to complete assessment tasks (check with the coordinator of your course whether this is the case) and you may be given a ‘mark’ for your results
- your results will not be retained, nor will they be recorded on an academic transcript
- you will receive a certificate of completion
- you will not be able to claim credit for this unit towards one of our degrees, now or in the future.

2. Enrolling as a non-award student
This is a more formal enrolment. You will need to apply to Sydney Medical School and follow the complete enrolment procedure. Enrolling as a non-award student means that:
- you will be expected to take part in all learning and assessment activities
- you will receive an academic transcript
- if you fail the unit, for example by not submitting compulsory assessment tasks or by failing them, an AF (Absent Fail) will be recorded on your academic transcript.
- you will pay the standard university rate for the unit of study.
- you will be able to count the unit of study towards one of our degrees, as long as you do so within two years of completing the unit.
