Enrolment Policy

The purpose of our policy 

The purpose of our policy is to:

• outline the principles under which students are enrolled in Adelaide University 
• state the governance-level responsibilities for our enrolment activities
• provide authority to maintain our enrolment procedures, which are linked in section five.

Who our policy applies to 

Our policy applies to all coursework students and all courses of Adelaide University.

Our enrolment principles

We provide clear and transparent information to students about enrolment choices and processes. Our enrolment activities support our legislative and regulatory obligations, including those applying to holders of international student visas.

Our 6 [six] enrolment principles are:

1.    Our enrolment processes will be consistent, fair, transparent and formally documented, and will comply with applicable external regulations and requirements.

2.    We will provide students with clear, timely and accurate enrolment advice, including critical dates. We will ensure that information and support services are readily available to enable students to meet enrolment requirements.

3.    We will comply with all legislative obligations. This includes ensuring that international students studying on a student visa will do so in accordance with the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 and relevant student visa conditions, and that a student’s enrolment status is accurately reflected in their Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

4.    We will comply with our legal requirements, including when we amend, discontinue, suspend, or cancel a student’s enrolment, whether this is at our instigation or the student’s. 

5.    By enrolling, students agree to comply with our policies, procedures, and conditions.

6.    Students are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate personal information and managing their enrolment in accordance with program requirements and legislative compliance.
