What are unit requisites?

UPDATED 15 AUG 2025 | 7:43AM

Unit requisites are conditions applied to units that must be met prior to enrolment in a particular unit. There are different types of unit requisites.

  • Pre-requisites: Certain conditions need to be met (e.g. completed a first aid certificate, passed required units) before you can enrol in the specified unit. Some units have concurrent pre-requisites, meaning you must have either passed, or be enrolled in the pre-requisite for the same study period. 
  • Co-requisites: Units that must be studied together. If you withdraw from one unit, you will be automatically withdrawn from the other.
  • Anti-requisites: Units that are similar in content, may be listed as anti-requisites of each other. This prevents you from enrolling into two similar units.
  • Partial-requisite (P): This usually occurs when you enrol into your first semester, eStudent will allow you to enrol into your second semester units (with pre-requisites) on the proviso you pass your first semester units. You should amend your enrolment in second semester if you fail a pre-requisite unit.

To check the requisites attached to units please have a look at the Courses Handbook. Units marked with a (P) in eStudent indicate that you are currently studying the prerequisite for that unit.
