New Application to Enrol dates (ATE)
Returning students can Apply to Enrol anytime between now and 10 January 2012.

Timetables
During previous enrolment periods you've waited to view the timetable before selecting your courses. This time it works differently; you select what you'd like to study and the timetable gets created around your choices.
A timetable that limits clashes can't be created until the majority of students have applied to enrol and made course selections. This is another good reason to enrol now.

Conquering Kilimanjaro for Christchurch Earthquake
As part of a team of kiwis from around the world, University of Canterbury MSc student Argene Montgomery-Honger successfully conquered Mt Kilimanjaro on 5 August 2011. The expedition to climb the world's tallest walkable mountain was in aid of raising money and boosting morale for people in Christchurch. To date, the team has raised over $19,780 for Red Cross Earthquake Appeal and has received acknowledgements from Prime Minister John Key, the High Commissioner to London and Chief Executive of NZ Red Cross for their efforts.
