Current students

If you wish to change programs after receiving your transition study plan, you can apply for an internal transfer to another Adelaide University program later in 2025 via an online internal transfer form. Further information and advice about this process will be provided to you when internal transfer applications open.

Applications for internal transfer must meet the entry requirements of the desired program and relevant credit will be assessed at the time of transfer.

You may have received more than one program transition pathway email if you are undertaking a combined or double degree, or you are currently active in more than one program, even if you are only enrolled in one. If you believe you should not be active in more than one program, please contact Ask Adelaide or Campus Central  for further advice and to update your student record.

All previous studies successfully completed in your current program at the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia will be recognised for students transitioning to Adelaide University in their elected existing or equivalent program.

If you have previously received credit in your current program for a course(s) you completed external to the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia, this will be transferred to Adelaide University.

Scholarships applied to fees for international students, and scholarships and grants for domestic students from the University of Adelaide or University of South Australia will be maintained for current recipients when they transition to Adelaide University.

We’re working through all other scholarship arrangements given the various agreements in place with a principle that no student will be disadvantaged.

If you are awarded a scholarship, grant or fee discount from the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia, you'll retain that scholarship under its terms and conditions at the point of acceptance. Current UniSA or University of Adelaide international coursework students will not be eligible to apply for an additional Adelaide University scholarship under their current arrangement.

All International students in receipt of a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from either the University of South Australia or the University of Adelaide will have a new CoE issued for Adelaide University. There will be no change to the duration of enrolment length between a CoE from your current institution and the new CoE issued from Adelaide University. We anticipate that all international students will receive an email by mid-October 2025 with the new CoE attached. The new Adelaide University CoE will take effect from January 1, 2026.

The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia will assist eligible international students transferring to the new university in 2026 to ensure their documentation and program of study are compliant with their student visa.

We don’t expect any significant changes to campus locations for most activities in 2026. Most classes that students attend in 2026 will be in the same locations as they were in 2025. One exception to this may be in cases where Adelaide University is able to offer students access to specialised facilities that they can’t currently access at their foundation institution.

Where there are clear benefits to students, classes may occasionally be held in new locations to provide access to the resources that best support student learning. All such timetabling decisions will be made with a student-first approach that aims to minimise travel between campuses.

The following outlines how parchments, consistent with the regulatory obligations, will be issued to students graduating from Adelaide University:

• All students commencing their studies with Adelaide University in 2026 (and beyond) will graduate with an Adelaide University award.
• Commencing students enrolling in 2025 (and who transfer from the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia to Adelaide University) will receive their award from Adelaide University.
• Students enrolled in or before 2024 (and who transfer from the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia to Adelaide University) will receive their award from Adelaide University and will be able to elect to have the name and logo of the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia displayed on their award (subject to approval from regulatory and accrediting bodies).

All students, completing their studies prior to 2026, regardless of commencement date, will receive an award from their current institution (either the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia), but will also be considered as alumni of Adelaide University. They will be eligible to receive official confirmation of this from Adelaide University should they require it.

Adelaide University will have new student placement uniforms, and more information on uniforms and other Adelaide University merchandise will be available in the second half of 2025.

Students are advised not to purchase more uniforms than is reasonably necessary for 2025.
