Eligibility and registration
COVID-19 update: PASS has moved to online delivery
We continue to run our PASS program through interactive online sessions delivered to you in the comfort of your own home.
Registrations will open 9am Monday 1 March 2021. When you register, we'll send you a Zoom link and information on how to access the class. You'll also still be able to access the materials you need each week on our PASS Canvas site.
Eligibility
PASS in Business is open to all Business students enrolled in a unit of study supported by PASS.
PASS in Law is available to undergraduate Law students in Years 1 to 3, or full-time Juris Doctor (JD) students.
If you’re undertaking the JD part time, you’re welcome to attend PASS sessions in the units you’re enrolled in. Although there may be some mismatch between the content due to the different pace of your studies, there will be an overlap with the key concepts and problem-solving studied in the JD.
How to register
Registration for both undergraduate and postgraduate units in Semester 1 will open at 9am, Monday 1 March 2021. PASS sessions will begin on Monday 8 March (Week 2 of Semester 1).
Juris Doctor (JD) sessions in Semester 1 will start in Week 3 (the week beginning 15 March 2021).
You need to follow the instructions to set up your University Zoom account, then access your PASS session on Zoom.
Viewing your session schedule
To see your sessions, log in to PASS online registration. You’ll find a list your current PASS registrations and the venue for each.
You can also view your sessions through the Sydney Uni app by selecting 'Timetable'. Your PASS sessions will be identified with 'PASS'.
Waiting lists
If a session is full, you can register for the waiting list. We will email you if a place becomes available or if a new session is being held, before it’s offered to all students.
When you are placed on a waiting list, we will email you a number which tells you where you are on the list. If you are close to the front of the waiting list (generally between one and five), you have a good chance of gaining a place in the program in the near future.
You can choose to deregister from the waiting list.
Attending sessions as a guest
If you miss your regular session or if you are on the waiting list, you can attend a session as a guest.
If you are attending online PASS session as a guest, you need to contact the PASS coordinator at business.pass@sydney.edu.au so that we can send you a one-off zoom link to attend the PASS session of your choice. Make sure you sign the attendance sheet.
Check to see if more sessions have been opened by logging in to PASS registration.
Changing sessions
To change to another PASS session for the same unit of study, you’ll need to first deregister from your current session.
Once you’ve received the deregistration confirmation email, you can enrol in a new PASS session.
Note that you’re not guaranteed a place in the new session and will need to join the waiting list if the session is full.
Deregistering
If you miss two PASS sessions in a row, you will be deregistered and your place will be given to someone on the waiting list. Make sure you fill in the attendance sheet at each session to record your attendance.
You’ll be notified by email if you are being deregistered as a result of missing sessions. If you believe you have received the email in error, email business.pass@sydney.edu.au.
You can choose to deregister yourself from a session or the waiting list by logging in to PASS registration. You’ll receive an email that confirms your deregistration was successful.
