One Stop Student Admin

My Student Admin is the service designed to help you manage your personal and enrolment details, and view your results, online.
Visit One Stop Student Admin

If you're unable to vary your enrolment on My Student Admin (eg. the subject you want to enrol in is not on your study plan), you can submit an eRequest online. No more paper applications of the 'Variation of Program' will be accepted at UTS: Education.

Class Codes/Activities

At enrolment you specified your class code or activity code. If you forget which class you are  in, you can go to My Subject Activities. On the timetables website you can find out which room is booked for your class.

Contacting a lecturer

Follow the directions regarding Lecturer Contact in your Subject Outline or Learning Package (distance students). Or you could browse the academic staff list for the lecturer you want to contact or view the course contacts page.

Course Structure

The Education Handbook provides information about your course including outlines, course structures, standard course programs, assessment etc. A CD of all UTS handbooks is available at the Co-op Bookshop on Harris Street. It is important that you keep a record of the course structure to assist your decisions regarding progression through the course. To be awarded your degree, you must complete all the subjects listed on this document (or their equivalent if the subject changes during your program).

N.B. If you are a student enrolled in either C10206 Bachelor of Education in Primary Education, C10207 Bachelor of Education in Special Education or C10208 Bachelor of Education in Primary Education/Bachelor of Arts in International Studies who commenced studies prior to 2008, please refer to the appropriate Academic Progression Template that relates to your year of commencement.

UTS: Education Awards

UTS: Education recognises students academic achievements with a number of awards. Find out more at the prizes and awards page.

Forms

Most forms that you will need can be found either on the Education Forms, Policies & Documents page or on the Student Admin Unit's forms page.

Further questions about your program

You should refer to the Education Handbook in the first instance. If it does not answer your question view the course contacts page.

Getting help with studies

If you need help with a particular subject contact your lecturer. For assistance in academic language and literacy contact the ELSSA Centre.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Complete a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) application form (pdf) and supply certified documentation relating to your previous studies or work experience. To assist the academics assessing your request, enclose as much information as possible (eg. copies of transcripts as well as Handbook information relating to the subjects studied). Decisions can take up to a month so start early. Note - copies certified by a J.P. will not be accepted. The latest you can capply for RPL is before the start of your last semester.

Results

Your end of semester results will be available to you on an information line 1300 656 887 or can be accessed at www.uts.edu.au/onestop/studentadmin . For a hardcopy of your results simply print your results from the website.

Application for Extension of Time

Apply for a short Extension of Time using the form available at Education Forms, Policies & Documents. For a lengthy Extension of Time fill in a Request for Special Consideration form. A Doctor’s Certificate or a Counsellor's report must support your request for special consideration. Your subject lecturers will be notified of your circumstances as necessary and will take account of your request at the time of your assessment.

Student ID Card

New students will receive their student ID card at enrolment, continuing students will receive their card in the mail before semester starts. If you have lost or didn't recieve your student ID card you will need to fill in a Replacement Student ID Card (PDF) form and send it to the Student Info & Admin Office in the Tower Building, City Campus.

Taking time off from studies

You must have completed at least one subject of your course before applying for leave. Fill in a Leave of Absence form. To maintain your enrolment status, it is important that you fill in a Leave of Absence form. If you take a period of time off without completing this form, you may find you need to re-apply for your course!

Viewing your personal Timetable

To view your personal timetable, go to:- My Subject Activities, enter your log-in details, then click on My Allocations (located at top right hand corner of the screen). All of your subjects are then listed for the entire year. You can view this as a flat list or grid.

Time commitment

As a general guide students should expect to spend at least 6 hours study per week per subject. However this will vary from subject to subject.

Travel Concessions

Eligibility for travel concession is indicated by a symbol displayed on your student card. To be eligible you need to be enrolled in at least 36 credit points per year. You are not eligible if you are in business or full-time employment or in receipt of remuneration, excluding Austudy, Abstudy, Youth Allowance, scholarships, allowances and similar awards. You can apply for a student concession at your enrolment session.

Many useful links can be found at the UTS StudentHelp website.

UTSOnline

See the UTSOnline website for access and support. UTSOnline is a web-based tool used at UTS to deliver online learning to students.

Withdrawing from a course

There are other options. Would taking Leave of Absence help? What about withdrawing from one or two subjects? How about contacting counselling services.  If you need a change, you could consider transferring to another course. If you still decide to leave your course completely you must fill in a Notification of Withdrawal form (available from http://www.sau.uts.edu.au/forms/index.html) before the HECS census date. This ensures that you are not charged for the following semester's subjects. When you fill this in you will not incur an academic penalty (ie. a Fail) against your record. Such a penalty could influence entry into future courses.
