Advice on timetabling, fees, course information, graduation and your enrolment can be found at Managing Your Course – this should your first port of call.

If you cannot find the answer to your question there, in these FAQs or in your DAB Handbook, then please submit an eRequest to the Student Centre. This is, nine-times-out-of-ten, the quickest way to get an answer to your query or resolution to your problem. Here is a useful guide on the eRequest process.

Please note, that all communication must be through your official @student.uts.edu.au email address. Any email sent from a personal address will be ignored.

Subjects and Timetabling

Where can I find information on my subjects?

Please see this list of subjects for the outlines you will need to follow to succeed in your subject, including assessments. If you have a specific question about a subject that is not answered in the outline, please contact the Student Liaison Officer.

Where can I find information on electives?

There are often suggested elective choice blocks for a subject and a list for your course may be found in your Handbook, under Course Structure. You may also choose another elective from the DAB list. If you are interested in taking an elective from another faculty, please see this advice on electives page.

Please note, whilst we may approve a subject from another faculty and this may be on your study plan, we do not have the final say on whether you can enrol in that subject. If you wish to enrol in a subject offered by another Faculty, you can apply with an eRequest.

Where can I find important dates?

Census dates, teaching periods and other important dates can be found HERE. 

I don’t think I need to do a subject due to previous experience; how do I gain recognition for previous learning?

This is called Credit Recognition and can be applied for HERE. Please note: this is not usually available for undergraduate students and must be applied for after the subject or experience has been completed.

I want to study a subject not offered at UTS; how do I gain credit for my studies?

This is called Concurrent Study and advice on how to apply can be found HERE. Please note, this process should be completed before enrolling into the subject at another institution.

How do I enrol in a subject?

To enrol in a subject, please use My Student Admin. Here is a useful guide. Please be aware that the census date is the final day on which you can withdraw from a subject without incurring financial liability and/or academic penalty.

How do I manage my timetable?

The best way to manage your timetable is through mytimetable.uts.edu.au. Should you come up against an issue that cannot be resolved through this system, please submit an eRequest to the Student Centre.

Can I study abroad? 

A simple list of international institutions where UTS students may take semesters abroad may be found HERE. The first step is to arrange a meeting with the Student Liaison Officer to discuss how best to incorporate a semester studied abroad into your Study Plan. For more information, as well as how to apply, please refer to the UTS Global Exchange website.

Is there a minimum attendance policy?

On-campus classes may be timetabled between 8am and 9pm. Not all subjects are available in the evenings. Evening classes can start as early as 5pm. Part-time students may need to attend some day classes and full-time students may need to attend some evening classes. For certain postgraduate courses, attendance at a number of weekends may be required for subjects which run in block mode.

Regular attendance at classes is a requirement of the University. It is your responsibility to attend lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions, and carry out all assignment and examination work in every subject in which you are enrolled. Details of precise percentages for each subject may be found in Subject Outlines. Should you not reach the minimum attendance for a subject you may be academically penalised.

Exams and Assessments

How can I manage my exam timetable?

Your exam timetable can be accessed in My Student Admin. Should you encounter an issue, please submit an eRequest.

How do I query a mark or grade?

In the first instance, please email the Student Liaison Officer with your student ID and the subject number, and they will set up a meeting with the Subject Coordinator. This should be done within 10 working days of the release of the assessment task or final result.

More information about querying of an error in mark or grade.

What is plagiarism and how can I avoid doing it?

Plagiarism means presenting someone else’s work in any format as your own original work without appropriate acknowledgement of the author or its source. It can also be deliberate cheating or copying and pasting from sources without correct acknowledgement.

Plagiarism is a type of student misconduct and a breach of academic integrity. It can take many forms, but the university has systems in place to actively check and act upon any instances of plagiarism in students’ work. UTS treats any form of plagiarism very seriously. Penalties for plagiarism are harsh and can result in you:

  • failing the assessment task;
  • failing the subject; and/or
  • being excluded from the university.

Forms of plagiarism can include, but are not limited to:

  • copying out any document, audio-visual material, computer-based material or artistic piece without acknowledging the source. This includes copying directly or indirectly from the original, for example, photocopying, faxing, emailing, or by any other means, including memorising.
  • using another person's concepts, results, processes or conclusions, and passing them off as your own
  • paraphrasing and/or summarising and another's work without acknowledging the source
  • buying or acquiring an assignment written by someone else on your behalf

If you are unsure as how to correctly reference the please see this Harvard Referencing Guide for more information and/or speak to your subject coordinator.

For more information on plagiarism please refer to this Guide and the Avoiding Plagiarism site.

Seriously, don’t run the risk - plagiarism can seriously affect your chances of academic success.

Graduations

How do I graduate?

There are a number of processes that need to be followed in order to graduate. Advice on graduation may be found HERE.

Getting Support

I am a student living with one or more disabilities, medical or mental health conditions; where can I get some support?

The Accessibility Service aims to make reasonable adjustments to minimise the impacts of disability/health conditions upon study as far as possible, whilst maintaining academic integrity. Please note: to access this service, you will first need to register.

Where can I see a doctor?

An on-campus Health Centre provides friendly, confidential medical services to students.

I’m struggling with my mental health; where can I get some counselling support?

Never leave an issue to get worse, there is always help available for those who need it: Counselling and how we can help.

For general advice on how to cope with the pressures of life and study, please see the Self-Help Resources, which includes advice on subjects such as; dealing with anxiety, grief and personal loss, understanding sexuality and gender, stress and time management, and drug and alcohol issues.

Who do I talk to if I’m worried about another student?

If you are concerned about the safety of another student please either call the Counselling Unit on 02 9514 1177 and ask to speak with a Counsellor or email student.services@uts.edu.au. Your communication will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

Emergency contacts, including emergency counselling and services, can be found HERE.  Remember, if a situation is life threatening, please call 000.

Something personal has happened that may affect my studies; what do I do?

Special Consideration is intended to provide equitable academic treatment for students whose performance in an assessment task is affected by illness, misadventure or work-related circumstances.

You should only apply for special consideration when your performance in an assessment item or examination has been affected by extenuating or special circumstances beyond your control. Special consideration is not automatically granted and may not result in a mark adjustment.

A personal issue means I need to take a break; how do I do that?

Each application for a Leave of Absence is assessed on its own merits and must be supported by appropriate documentation. Please also let the Student Liaison Officer know of your intention to take a break.

Technical Support

The first step for all IT issues is to log a job at ServiceConnect.

Here are some specific guides for support with subject 16470, Construction Project Management
