Key enrolment information

Semester 1, 2012 Enrolment Dates

If you are a domestic student and cannot attend on your designated enrolment day, you can enrol by proxy. To arrange a proxy enrolment, please complete the proxy authority form, nominating someone to enrol on your behalf, and ensure you sign it. If you cannot download the proxy form, a signed letter nominating and authorising another person to act on your behalf for your enrolment will suffice.

What to bring

Here's a checklist of things you will need to bring with you to enrolment:

• Photo identification
• UAC offer slip (tear this off from the bottom of your UAC offer letter) for local undergraduate students - a copy of your offer email for all other students
• Your current address and phone details (including your mobile phone number)
• The units of study you wish to enrol into or seek academic advice about
• Your Tax File Number (TFN) or Certificate of Application for a TFN, if you are enrolling as a Commonwealth assisted student

You may also need to bring:

• If you are a permanent resident, the date your permanent residency was granted
• Evidence of your new citizenship status if it has recently changed
• If you are applying for credit or advance standing, documentation of previous study to support your claim, such as academic transcript and unit of study outlines (see our frequently asked questions for a list of standard exemptions from common feeder programs in New South Wales)
• A method to pay any fees (credit card or personal/bank cheque) if you are not deferring fees (see below)
• Signed proxy authorisation form (if you are acting as a proxy for an applicant)
• A blue or black ball-point pen

Decisions you need to make on enrolment day

• What units of study you will be enrolling into for this year. Don't worry if you are unsure. We have an enrolment guide that recommends units of study for you, and you can always change your mind between enrolment day and the start of semester.
• Whether you will be paying up front or deferring payment (for local students).
• If you want to apply for exemptions for previous study at University or TAFE.

Costs of study

Information about the costs associated with your study at Sydney can be found at sydney.edu.au/start/costs_scholarships/index.shtml.

Costs of study include Course Fees, Student Service and Amenitees Fees, and expenses associated with study such as studio equipment, textbooks, materials etc. See /programs_of_study/fees for more details.

Other enrolment information

How long should I allow to enrol?
Enrolment involves two locations. The first is within the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning's Wilkinson Building, where you collect your enrolment papers, choose the units of study you are taking, lodge these units with the Student Administration Centre (who will check them to make sure they are correct) and organise payment/deferment of fees. You should be able to finish all of this in under an hour.

The second location, in the new Law Library, is where you will get your student ID card. This includes taking photos (make sure you look your best for the day for this). Depending on the number of people there this process may take only a few minutes or longer if there are queues.

All up you should allow for a couple of hours for enrolment.

What about continuing students?
If you are continuing your studies within the same course, you would have been asked to pre-enrol at the end of Semester 2. Pre-enrolment takes place once a year. You can pre-enrol online using your MyUni account (recommended) or by submitting a paper pre-enrolment form to the Faculty.
