Free elective courses at UNSW are courses which do not contribute towards your
core courses or major courses.
A make-up quiz can be arranged for students who missed a quiz due to religious holidays, illness or other extraordinary circumstances. Students must provide proofs legitimizing the reason for missing a quiz. Free elective courses can allow you to choose courses outside of your major to broaden your knowledge to help with your career ambitions. Please check the level one courses rule for your program when selecting free electives. A major is an approved sequence of 48 UOC (8 courses) courses in a particular area within a program. Majors require students to take an approved set of courses at difference levels and units of credit. The term is generally synonymous with plan or specialisation. More than one major may be completed in a program. Students are permitted to change their major/plan/stream (usually at the start of the academic term) by login on to myUNSW My Student Profile Stream Declaration. Depending on your degree program requirements (refer to the Handbook and program diagrams to find out what these requirements are) these courses may be selected from within or outside the Business School.
