Follow these steps to enrol in your course, choose what you'll study, get your timetable, and organise your student card. You might complete the steps in a different order to your classmates, depending on the date you enrol.
Once you’ve accepted your offer, you’ll need to enrol in Sydney Student to secure your place. You'll be taken through a series of steps where you confirm your details, select your units of study, complete financial information and upload a photo for your student card.
After you've gone through enrolment you need to select 'Submit'. If you don't do this, you haven't technically enrolled and won't be able to start classes. We'll send you an email to confirm that you're enrolled.
Selecting units is an important part of online enrolment in most courses at the University. Once you’re enrolled, you can access this screen to review or change your units by logging in to Sydney Student and going to ‘My studies’, ‘Units of study’ then ‘Change your units of study’.
Most units and courses have enrolment rules to ensure you meet course requirements and progress successfully. If your selection breaks a rule, a message will pop-up. Generally, you should adjust your selections, though in some cases you may be ale to request an exception.
You need a full-time study load of 24 credit points to ensure you can complete your course by the end date on your electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE). There may be some situations where you are eligible for a reduced study load. A pop-up message will display if you don't select a full-time study load and prompt you to select more units or apply for a reduced study load.
During enrolment we’ll guide you through a summary of your fees. You will also be given information about your Student Services and Amenities Fee (if applicable).
If you’re a domestic student eligible for HELP you'll be asked to fill out the necessary Australian Government HELP forms.
Within 24 hours after you've completed enrolment, your Student Financial Statement will be available in Sydney Student. This shows your exact tuition fees. Tuition fees vary depending on what type of student you are, the course you are studying, and the individual units you've enrolled in.
You'll need to upload a photo of yourself to Sydney Student. This photo will appear on your student card.
As well as identifying you as a student at the University, your student card allows you to access campus facilities, borrow from the library, print and photocopy, and gives you access to a wide range of travel and student discounts.
We'll give you a physical card and you can also download a digital version to your mobile phone.
Each semester you'll receive a class timetable, which shows the times of all your lectures, tutorials, and labs each week.
If you enrol in your units before timetables are released, you may have the opportunity to enter preferences for your class times, but this step is optional.
Even if you don't enter preferences, don't worry. You'll still be able to adjust your class times after timetables are released. You can make changes up until the end of Week 2.
Canvas is the University's online learning platform. Log in to Canvas and familiarise yourself with your unit of study sites.
You can also read about the books, course readers and equipment you need (such as labcoats) by going to our dedicted materials and equipment page and to each unit of study outline.
