A comprehensive list of our policies and procedures can be found on
our website at
ESOS Framework
International Students are protected by the Australian Government through
legislation, the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000
and the National Code 2007.
A full description of the ESOS framework can be found at the following
Students with School Age Dependants
Prospective international students should note that that all school-
age dependants who accompany them must attend school whilst in
Australia. These school-age dependants will be required to pay full
fees if enrolled in a government or non-government school.
Student Deferral, Suspension and Cancellation of Enrolment
Students can defer commencement of their course or temporarily
suspend their enrolment once they have commenced studies in certain
limited compassionate and compelling circumstances.
When deferral, suspension or cancellation of enrolment is rejected,
students have the right to appeal the decision. Deferral, suspension or
cancellation of enrolment might affect the student visa. Students should
contact Student Services to discuss their individual situation.
Please remember that all requests for deferral, suspension or
cancellation of enrolment must be made in writing to Student Services.
Attendance
For students on student visas, the Department of Immigration and
Citizenship (DIAC) requires the Institution to monitor students’
attendance. Your visa is conditional on your attendance in class being
no less than 80%. Any student whose attendance is less than 80%
must be reported to DIAC. Students who receive a warning letter about
attendance should respond to it immediately.
Overseas Students health cover (OSHC)
It is compulsory for International Students on student visas to have
medical cover for the proposed duration of their Student Visa, provided
through one of the approved Australian providers of the OSHC scheme.
This coverage can be arranged for you on enrolment or you may
organise it on your own.
The application form and other required documents need to be
forwarded to UNSW Foundation Studies either directly or to one
of the UNSW offces listed on page 44, or through any of our
authorised representatives.

appropriate) of your school results, and English language
