It’s never too early or too late to start thinking about what you want to do in the future and building the skills and experience that will help you succeed. 

Career Registration (CR) is a set of three questions you need to answer during your enrolment process, that helps you reflect on your career planning and experience so far. Your answers let us tailor opportunities, advice and events to your needs. 

By answering these questions, you’ll find out what stage you are in your career journey, and get advice and support tailored to your needs.

The three areas we ask about:

1. Career readiness – choose the statement that best matches where you are now. 
2. Experience to date – select the type(s) of work experience you currently have (it is okay if you have none yet). 
3. Career interests – pick the industries/sectors you are curious about or aiming for.

What will UWA do with my data?

•    Reporting is aggregated/de-identified where possible and access is limited to support teams. 

Other Common FAQs:

1) I made a mistake—can I change my answers after I have completed my enrolment process? 
Yes. You can review and change your answers in student Connect at any time. Navigate to studentConnect → Personal Details → Career Registration to update at any time. 

2) I have no experience yet. Will I be disadvantaged? 
No. Telling us you have no experience yet means we will prioritise beginner-friendly opportunities and workshops to you. 

3) I already have a job, do I still need to complete it? 
Yes. Your answers help us tailor communications and advanced options (e.g., mentoring, leadership programs). 

4) I am an international student. Is this relevant to me? 
Absolutely. We will route you to applicable resources, employer events, and support suited to international students. 

5) Will my professors see my individual responses? 
Academic staff may see aggregated insights to help plan or improve learning experiences. Individual responses are limited to support teams. 

6) Do I have to complete it every semester/year? 
You will need to complete it every time you go through your enrolment process. If nothing has changed, you can confirm quickly. 

7) Does this appear on my transcript? 
No. It is not part of your academic record. 

8) How will I know what support I get? 
You will receive targeted emails after enrolment period is finished. 

9) I selected multiple interest areas—will I get spammed? 
We aim to keep messages relevant and reasonable.  

10) I cannot progress my enrolment without answering—why? 
Career Registration is a mandatory step so we can connect every student to the right support. It will not affect your courses or fees.
