Hopefully someone will be able to answer my question.

I went to uni as a mature age student several years ago but had to defer. I never finished my degree. I'm trying to weigh up some future options and going back to uni is one of them.

How do I get back in? Do I have to do the initial enrolment all over again (STAT test etc)? Or will the fact I have already started count?

You can look into OUA which allows you to study externally at the on campus load and if within 10 years and similar subject matter you could apply for credit transfer.

Otherwise apply directly through the university as mature age student, the course/university you are looking at will have detail on their website.. as different uni's sometimes have specific application processes it would be best to check out the uni's you want to apply to.

Perfect timing, most applications are just opening and some uni's close october/november.

Thanks Zel. I've looked at one in particular but don't think I will be able to get it together for next year. Which means I won't be able to use the units already done as by that stage it will be past ten years but they will get me back into uni without too much hassle.
