EFTSL refers to the Equivalent Full-Time Student Load attributed to a unit. Each unit has a set load (based on the number of credit points that the unit is worth), which is listed on your Statement of Enrolment, electronic Statement of Account (eSOA) and online enrolment on studentConnect. EFTSL is one of the components used to calculate your unit tuition fees or Student Contribution amount. One EFTSL (1.000) is equivalent to a full time student load for one year (normally 48 credit points). One unit worth 6 credit points is normally equivalent to 0.125 EFTSL. 

You will find your unit load or student load in studentConnect by clicking on 'Statement of Enrolment' under the COURSE DETAILS menu. This page will provide you with a summary of your enrolment for current and past academic years, including your calculated study load (full-time or part-time) for each semester/trimester across the whole academic year. Your student load is calculated based on the number of enrolled credit points you have for each teaching period. Non-standard teaching periods will normally contribute to your study load for each half of the year (known as your aggregate semester study load). 

You can download or print your current or past Statements of Enrolment by clicking on the PDF button on the Statement of Enrolment page in the Course Details menu. If you have queries or have difficulty accessing your Statement of Account, Email Us via askUWA
