USYD China Admissions Update – February 2023

悉尼大学关于中国学生的信息更新

With most classes for Semester 1 beginning on Monday February 20th, 2023, we want to provide you with more detail around our processes to help you provide the correct advice to your students. We will continue to offer remote units of study where possible for courses listed here and hope that your students will continue with their plans to begin their study this intake.

If the student is arriving before Semester 1 classes commence 如果学生在第一学期开课前到达

If your student intends on arriving to Australia in time to commence their classes on campus in Semester 1, they should enrol in on-campus units of study. The location code for on-campus units is 'CC' for all Camperdown/Darlington units of study. They can check the on-campus location codes for other campuses via our website.

During their enrolment, they can indicate that they are currently located Offshore, they will then have the option to indicate that they intend to study in Australia for Semester 1 2023. Once they arrive in Australia, they should log into Sydney Studentand indicate that they are currently located Onshore. To find out more about updating their location, refer to How do I update my onshore/offshore status?

If the student is arriving after Semester 1 Commencement 如果学生在第一学期开学后抵达

If they have not received their visa, and/or cannot arrive in Australia at least one week before the start of the teaching session in Semester 1, they should ensure that they have entered their location as Offshore and have selected remote units (units with the location code 'RE').

If they indicate that they are Offshore, they will be required to upload a student declaration to let us know they will not be arriving in time for semester commencement when prompted during their enrolment. A link to the student declaration will be provided during their enrolment in Sydney Student and is also available here.

If the student’s location has changed and they need to adjust their unit enrolment location

International students can change from Offshore or Arriving to Onshore at any time after they enrol via the Sydney Student portal. They should aim to have their final changes completed by the first day of commencement of the semester as changes beyond the first day may cause disruption to their enrolment as it requires a student to withdraw and lose their current timetable. The last date to add or change a unit location is 3rd March 2023.

1. Go to 'My details' then 'Personal details'. They will see what their current Offshore/onshore status is, and an

option to update this status.

2. Select 'update' and follow the prompts to let us know whether they are currently within or outside Australia.

If they are within Australia, they will also need to provide the University with their USI.

3. They can then withdraw from their current unit by selecting the rubbish bin next to a unit on the unit of study

selection screen, (go to 'My studies', 'Units of study', then 'Change they units of study'). They'll need to select

'Continue' and then 'Confirm' on the confirmation screen to finalise the change.

4. Now select the units of study with the relevant location code (e.g. units for offshore location have the code

‘RE’ and units for the onshore location have either the code ‘CC’ or another code as listed on our website here).

Note: Some units of study may have a limit on the number of students who enrol. If they select a unit and it has

already reached capacity, they may need to select an alternative unit. The University is working on increasing capacity

for some units so they can check back later to see if the unit becomes available.

The University is also working to increase the number of classes available for timetables based on demand. If their preferred class is unavailable, they should place their name on the waitlist as soon as possible.

If the student has enrolled and is unable to arrive on campus by the last day to add or change a unit

如果学生已经注册并且无法在最后一天到达校园以添加或更改课程

We will continue to offer the select remote units of study available for Semester 1 (listed here), if they choose to continue their studies remotely.

Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE) has acknowledged some students may experience extenuating circumstances that impact their ability to resume on campus study immediately. If they are unable to travel to Sydney before 3rd March 2023, for example they received their visa late or were unable to book a flight, we recommend they keep all records of their attempts to make arrangements to resume on-campus study as evidence required for the CSCSE. The University will assist these students who are impacted with a letter of support. Please do not request a letter of support prior to census date.

Commencing students with questions related to this can contact sfs.support@sydney.edu.au.

The website has the latest updates for student visa holders, and advice on study arrangements including enrolling, timetables and accommodation.

If the student decides to defer their place until the next available intake, our process remains the same

如果学生决定将他们的位置推迟到下一个可入学时间，我们的流程保持不变

Even though they have already accepted their offer and paid their tuition fees, they can still apply to defer. Contact our admissions team with their request at international.admissions@sydney.edu.au. Full information can be found here: Defer their offer.

Once they have commenced their studies, they will be required to submit a discontinuation of their enrolment before they send their request to defer. Alternatively, they can apply to suspend their studies. See our information on suspending their studies.

Please be aware of the Census date for their course. If they request to defer/suspend after the census date, they may be financially and academically liable. Full information can be found here: Census date.

Please Note: not all courses allow suspension /deferrals, and some courses may only be available to commence in Semester 1 of any given year. They must check they course information prior to applying to suspend/defer.

Any payments made to the current intake will remain in the University account and be transferred to the future intake.
