Transfer

Transferring to another Institution

Q. What reasons for seeking release would be considered acceptable?

A. UTS is currently formulating its Release Policy. This will be implemented on 1 July.

Q. What is my principal course?

A. If your student visa covers a package of courses, then your principal course is the final course in your package. The other courses are preliminary courses. For example, you may have been accepted into a Bachelor of Commerce course but been required to complete a 10-week English-language course and a 2-year diploma at INSEARCH before commencing your Bachelor's. In this example your principal course is the Bachelor of Commerce. You would need to obtain a release letter from UTS if you wish to transfer to a different institution at any time prior to completing 6 months of the Bachelor of Commerce.

Q. I have been granted a package of courses, but now want to take my preliminary course at another institution before returning to UTS to study my principal course. Do I need a release letter even if I am going to return to UTS?

A. Yes. You need a release letter if you wished to transfer to a different institution at any time prior to completing 6 months of your principal course, even if you plan to return to UTS to study your principal course.
