International students

Essential tasks

Now that you've arrived, you'll need to give us some essential information.

  • If you haven't enrolled yet, you'll be asked to provide this information during enrolment. We recommend you enrol as soon as possible once enrolment opens.
  • If you've already enrolled, you'll need to update your details. You can do this by logging in to Sydney Student.

Update your information

1

Tell us your USI

All students need a Unique Student Identifier (USI) to study in Australia. You can apply for yours on the Australian Government's USI website once you've arrived. It doesn't take long to complete. Then, you can add your USI to Sydney Student by going to ‘My details’ then ‘Personal details’. Find out more about your USI.

2

Update your location

You'll need to let us know that you're in Australia. You can update your onshore/offshore status by logging in to Sydney Student and going to ‘My details’ then ‘Personal details’.

3

Tell us your residential address in Australia

If you're on a student visa, it's a condition of your visa that you let us know your residential address in Australia within seven days of arriving. You can update this in Sydney Student by going to 'My details', then ‘Address & residency'.

4

Review your contact details

If any other information has changed, such as your phone number or personal email address, you'll also need to update this in Sydney Student by going to 'My details', then ‘Address & residency'.
