This information is for students who have come to the University of Sydney to study. If you're a current student at the University and would like to study overseas, visit our Study abroad and exchange page.

When you accepted your offer to study with us, you selected your preferred units of study up to a full-time load of 24 credit points (12 credit points for short-term sessions).

If you change your mind and would like to take units of study not listed in your application, you have until the end of Week 1 of the semester to change your enrolment. For summer and winter short-term sessions, the last day to add or withdraw from units of study will vary for each unit of study.

To do this, you need to complete the Study abroad and exchange programs enrolment variation form (pdf, 190KB) and send it to your Sydney Abroad adviser, indicating your preferred changes. Your adviser will then seek approval on your behalf and enrol you accordingly.

Inbound Study Abroad students have the opportunity to apply for an internship through enrolment in ARTS2600 during their semester in Sydney.

Internship placements are competitive, assessed against eligibility criteria, academic relevance, and prior experience. Placement is not guaranteed, and students are matched on a best‑fit basis.

You can indicate your interest in ARTS2600 when submitting your Study Abroad application. If you are being considered for a placement, you will initially be enrolled in four units of study while the internships team finalises your placement. Once confirmed, your Sydney Abroad adviser will assist you in updating your enrolment to include ARTS2600.

Please note that ARTS2600 is an optional unit and is subject to placement availability.

Once results are released, your Sydney Abroad adviser will send two copies of your official transcript to either your home institution/program provider or to you directly.

If your program finishes in Semester 1, your transcripts will be sent by August. If you finish in Semester 2, your transcripts will be sent by January.

If you’re in a short-term program, your transcripts will be sent by September.

You can also order additional copies of your transcript.

If continuing into a second semester, your Sydney Abroad adviser will email you to complete an enrolment variation form before that semester starts. You must specify your preferred units of study, up to 24 credit points (usually four units).

If you need your adviser to sign your home institution learning agreement or any other official form, please visit a Sydney Abroad peer adviser in the Student Centre. You can leave your printed learning agreement with the peer adviser who will let you know when it has been signed and can be collected.
