I've varied my enrolment. What do I do?

You do not need to obtain a new Student Campus Card if you have either varied your enrolment or transferred to a different course. Domestic students are advised if your enrolment has changed from full-time to part-time, you will no longer be eligible for a travel concession. You must return your card for a free replacement without concession.

Travel concession

The Campus Card Centre acts as an agent on behalf of Transport NSW and is required to follow the eligibility criteria set by them when issuing travel concession. Further information and guidelines can be found at the Transport NSW website.

If you are entitled to a transport concession your signature on your student card indicates your agreement to abide by the conditions of use as published by the relevant transport authorities. For the conditions of use and eligibility requirements for travel concession please refer to the Transport NSW website.

You can apply for a travel concession in person at the Campus Card Centre.

You must submit a declaration each year to obtain a travel concession.

Students will need to enrol full-time for both semesters and meet the eligibility requirements to receive a Student Campus Card with a travel concession.

You must not obtain student concession travel if you do not comply with the eligibility conditions.

Providing false information or any breach of these conditions could render you liable for prosecution.

If you cease studies prior to the card expiry date, you must return your concession card to the issuing office immediately.

Note: On the 21st February 2013 The Minister for Transport announced changes to the eligibility criteria for tertiary student public transport concessions.
