Due to the current pandemic, there are an increased number of units which students can opt to study via an online delivery mode if they are unable to attend campus. This is being reviewed on a semester by semester basis. You can search for a unit and check the delivery 'mode' available on the unit details in the online handbook.
The following three delivery modes will allow a student to complete the unit externally.  
  1. Online flexible: 100% Online Unit. NO campus face-to-face attendance. All study and assessment requirements are online only. Unit does not have timetabled activities apart from assessment deadlines or exams. 
  2. Online timetabled (Online-TT): 100% Online Unit. NO campus face-to-face attendance. All study and assessment requirements are online only. Unit includes some timetabled activities, with a requirement for students to participate online at specific times. 
  3. Online timetabled Restricted (Online-RE): 100% Online Unit. NO campus face-to-face attendance. All study and assessment requirements are online only. Unit includes some timetabled activities, with a requirement for students to participate online at specific times. In exceptional cases (noted in the Handbook) students may be required to participate in face-to-face laboratory classes when a return to UWA’s Crawley campus becomes possible in order to be awarded a final grade. This mode is only available to students to approved students.
There are also a number of postgraduate courses which are available for completion through an online study mode. You can view our online course listing. 
 
If you are unsure if your unit or course is available online, please contact the relevant Student Advising Office or the Future Students team.
