To be eligible to enrol in a 3000 level Industry and Community Project Unit (ICPU) you need to be an undergraduate student.
As part of applying, you will need to enrol in a shell unit. To be eligible, you need to make sure this unit is available in your course. Check your handbook for this unit, and ensure you meet any criteria specified for this unit. ICPUs are referred to as 'Interdisciplinary Projects' or 'Industry and Community Project Units' in your handbook.
The shell unit is dependent on your faculty or school, and in some cases related to your major(s).

If you commenced your studies from 2018 onwards, or transferred to the new curriculum, you are required to complete a six credit points 3000-level Interdisciplinary Project Unit.
To enrol in an ICPU you will need to complete an Interdisciplinary Impact Unit (XXXX3999) in another subject area as a pre-requisite or co-requisite for your ICPU unit.
If you have opted to complete a second major within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, you should:
If you commenced your current award course prior to 2018 and have available space, you can enrol in INDP3000 as an elective and you do not need to complete a XXXX3999 unit as pre-requisite or a co-requisite.
The first step is to select a shell unit for the project through Sydney Student. If you've already enrolled you can do this by changing your units of study (go to ‘My studies’, ‘Units of study’, then ‘Change your units of study’).
Choose the shell unit for your faculty or school, and where relevant, your major(s).
Once you've successfully enrolled, you will receive an email with instructions on how to register for a project in Sydney Student.
Before registering for a semester-long project, check the timetable and make sure you're available for the allocated class times. For intensive projects, you need to be available Monday to Friday on a full-time basis. You will be manually added to the project timetable and it will take 7-9 days for your personal timetable to reflect your project registration.
To finalise your enrolment in the unit you will need to select a project in Sydney Student (go to 'My studies', 'Enrolment', then 'Project registration'), upon project registration opening.
Places in each project are limited so we encourage you to register early to avoid missing out. You will only see projects that are available for your enrolled shell unit and still have places available. If you can’t see a project when you register, you will need to select a different project. Project availability is subject to change.
Once you've registered for a project, you will need to upload a signed and witnessed Deed Poll to Canvas. This is a compulsory requirement of your enrolment in this unit. Without it, you will not be able to continue the unit. Make sure you consider the acknowledgments in the deed carefully before submission. You will be granted access to Canvas the week before teaching starts for your enrolled session and you will need to submit your Deed Poll before the first day of class.
This year we will be delivering semester length ICPU projects in partnership with the SLIC program (Service Learning in Indigenous Communities) and North Coast Aboriginal Development Alliance. For this project students will be working directly with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, therefore students are required to complete an interview process to partake in this ICPU.
The process for applying to this ICPU is outlined on the SLIC page.
For any questions regarding the SLIC ICPU please contact slic.info@sydney.edu.au.
Applications for our 2023 Global ICPUs have now closed. Information about our 2024 Global ICPUs will be available from November 2023.
Global Intensives are run during the July Intensive session. If you take part in a global intensive, you will spend two weeks overseas. There will be an additional merit-based application process for these units that includes an application submission and a group interview. You will need to be successful in this application before you are accepted into the project. Application details and further Information on the global ICPU projects can be found on the Globality Mobility Database Terradotta.
Following the interview, if successful you will receive conditional letter of offer of your place in the global ICPU project. If unsuccessful you will need to unenroll or select a domestic July Intensive ICPU project to partake In.
Please read the information carefully on the Globality Mobility Database Terradotta to ensure you understand what is required from participants of this project.
