Enrolment in LAWS3308/JURD7308/LAWS8052/LAWS8173 UNSW Law Internship (6uoc)

All selected interns will be enrolled in LAWS3308 (for undergraduate students), JURD7308 (for Juris Doctor students) or LAWS8052/LAWS8173 (for postgraduate students). You are required to attend internship classes which will assist you in successfully completing your internship and the assessment items required. Overseas/Regional/Interstate Placements will not require class attendance - interns will be assigned to an individual academic supervisor or get enrolled in an online class.

Please note that Student Services will be enrolling you once your placement is secured during the university enrolment period. Therefore, you will need to indicate your preferred class time in the semester when you will be undertaking your internship.

NOTE: Class times listed are subject to changes and should be use as a guide when completing the application form.

Please choose a preferred class time (Masters/Graduate Diploma students are not required to pick a class)

Overload

Given that internship placements may be finalised after your enrolment appointment, you may be required to overload with your internship course (i.e. LAWS3308/JURD7308). If you already have a full enrolment load and have not indicated that you wish to overload, then you cannot be enrolled into the internship course until you have dropped one of your other courses.

By choosing 'yes' below, Student Services will be able to assess your overload application. Please note that you will need to fulfill the UNSW Law Overload Policy to overload.

Do you intend to overload during your internship semester? *

If overloading: have you had a recent record of failure (past year of study)?*

* Students who have a recent record of failure (past year of study) are NOT eligible to overload. Please apply to overload once you have met this requirement.

If overloading: I am applying to overload for the following reason(s) *

If overloading: Please attach a study plan for the remaining semesters
