Accept full offer of admission
Once your academic credentials have been assessed and you have been granted admission to a degree program at UTS, you will be sent an Offer of Admission.
Commencing students wishing to accept their full Offer of Admission must pay a deposit plus the cost of Overseas Student Health Cover for the intended duration of the Australian Student Visa (please see Deposit Policy for US Financial Aid Recipients), to secure their place in the degree.
Upon receipt of the payment that is due, the University will authorise the electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE), which is required for a student visa.
Deposit policy for US Financial Aid recipients
The University of Technology, Sydney applies the following policy to individuals eligible to receive any US Federal Financial Aid funds:
If a student's tuition fees are covered by the total amount of the federal loans approved; then the student is permitted to pay a reduced deposit amount of AUD$1000 plus Overseas Student Health Cover costs for the proposed duration of his/her Australian Student Visa.
If the student's tuition fees are not covered by the federal loans certified, then the student's deposit payment plan is in accordance with UTS international student policy, i.e. the initial deposit is equal to the first semester tuition fee plus OSHC.
Once the student has paid the deposit and returned the Acceptance form, UTS will issue the electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE). Once the eCoE has been issued, the student will be able to apply for an Australian student visa.
Please note that loans cannot be originated until your enrolment is confirmed through the payment of your tuition fee deposit and you have been issued with a Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) from UTS. If you will be attending UTS on a visa which is not a student visa, please let us know as you will not be required to obtain an eCoE. Loans will not be disbursed to your bank account until you actually arrive and enrol in your courses at UTS, the actual date of your disbursement will be conveyed to you through a disbursement letter. We also recommend that you should be prepared to incur approximately 2 months worth of expenses before your loan funds become available. These expenses will be taken into account in your Cost of Attendance calculation to determine your loan amount.
If there is a shortfall between the loan funds received by UTS and the student’s outstanding fees, the balance of the semester's fees must be paid once the loan is delivered and no later than four weeks after commencement of the semester. Further information on how to apply for a US student loan can be obtained from US Financial Aid Director, usfinaid@uts.edu.au.
