Transition updates

Find information about the transition to Adelaide University, your enrolment, and more. Information is added regularly, so please check back often.

In 2026, your Adelaide University enrolment will either be in your existing program or in an equivalent program. You will be informed about the Adelaide University program you will transition into in the first half of 2025. Later in the year, undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students will receive an individual study plan that will detail the courses you have completed and information about the courses you’ll need to enrol into prior to enrolments opening. Graduate research students will receive confirmation of your ongoing enrolment.

The 2026 enrolments for undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students will open in late 2025. You will be able to complete your degree in the same timeframe, provided you continue to make satisfactory academic progress.

If you are transitioning to Adelaide University in 2026, you will receive your transition study plan between June and September this year. Your study plan will detail the courses you have completed and those you’ll need to enrol into when enrolments open for continuing students in November 2025.

Study plans will be sent in phases. In June, you will receive an email that confirms when you will receive your study plan.

If you have any questions once you receive your study plan, our specialist transition support team will be able to help with any queries. The contact details for that team will be included with your study plan.

If you are currently enrolled in a short duration program (for example, Graduate Certificate or Undergraduate Certificate) you won’t receive a study plan before September. We will assess your progress in the second half of the year and if you do need a study plan to transition to Adelaide University, it will be provided prior to enrolments opening.

The records of all previous courses studied and details of the credit awarded will be transferred to Adelaide University, and you will automatically be awarded credit into your Adelaide University program (including previously approved credit).

We are fully committed to supporting you during the transition to Adelaide University. You will receive timely and open communication regarding any changes to your student experience, your program or any courses. You will be provided with support, both face-to-face and online, before, during and after transition to Adelaide University.

The student support services available at Adelaide University will incorporate all the services currently available to students at the University of Adelaide or the University of South Australia. This includes support services such as general enquiry services, counselling, disability or carer support (including access plans), First Nations student support, graduate research specific services, elite athletes and performer agreements and personalised support for veterans, and the continuation of any ongoing scholarships (subject to meeting ongoing conditions).

For graduate research students, this will also include support through the Adelaide University Graduate Research School.

This work is ongoingand a high priority for both Adelaide University and our accreditation partners.

Accreditation status updates will be provided in the accreditation section on individual program webpages. Webpages for most Adelaide University programs are now available, with the remainder to be added soon. Please check back shortly if your program page is currently unavailable.
