Prepare for UTS and Australia

After your application is accepted, UTS will issue a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). You should apply for a non-award, subclass 500 Australian Student visa (opens external site) as soon as you receive your CoE. Remember, you can only commence your studies in Australia if you have a valid student visa.

You can apply for streamlined visa processing if you provide evidence of your CoE at the time that you lodge your visa application. To be granted a temporary visa, you must satisfy all requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs.

Your student visa includes permission to work. Your work rights are liable to change, so check the Deparment of Home Affairs website for current visa work conditions.

Make sure you book your travel in time to attend Orientation as it is a mandatory requirement for all Study Abroad and Exchange students to attend. The orientation program is important for new students as you’ll learn about UTS and meet other Study Abroad and Exchange students.

To help you prepare for your arrival, UTS has created a list of things to keep in mind before you arrive and settle into Sydney. Get ready and get excited!

Before you can access UTS systems, you will need to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your UTS user account.

MFA protects your account from unauthorised access, and gives you secure and easy access to multiple UTS applications using single sign-on.

Once you've set up your MFA, download the Multi – factor Authentication Okta Verify app on your phone. This is the preferred, simplest and easiest way to authenticate your identity especially when you need may need to change phone number when arriving/leaving Australia.
