Enrolment
As a first step, if you are intending to take any distance learning papers, you are encouraged to contact the department or departments concerned to check your eligibility to take your planned course.
Every distance learning student must complete enrolment for study online for every year in which papers are being taken. This is in addition to any correspondence with teaching departments.

Due dates
The due date for the submission of your application depends on the type of programme you are applying for.
If you are currently enrolled at Otago, and wishing to continue in the same programme, you do not need to submit a new application, but you will need to complete course enrolment.
Application deadlines for enrolled students
Course enrolment must be completed by all students via eVision and consists of the following steps:
- Annual details
- Paper selection
- Course approval
- Course enrolment declaration.
The University issues your invoice via the My Account page in your eVision portal with all the information you need to organise payment. Once you've completed course enrolment and your fees have been paid, you’re officially enrolled.
Penalty fees will be imposed where full payment is not received by the due date on your tuition fee invoice.
