Students should refer to the Commerce subject areas for the particular requirements for the major/majors which they intend to complete. Students should ensure they complete core units of study which are the prerequisites of particular majors or elective units of study they intend to undertake in their first semester of enrolment. However, providing that specified prerequisites/corequisites for the relevant elective units of study are met, a student may take one or more elective units of study in the first two semesters of study, and one or more core units of study in subsequent semesters of study.
