What you need to know

New to UTS? Welcome!

Summer session is open to all exisiting students.

Some faculties are now welcoming new students to commence in Summer session 2020/21. For more information and to apply, see:

• UTS: Business

Nope. Summer is not compulsory. Many students take advantage of this session to catch-up on a subject (if it's offered), to pick up an area subject to finish a little earlier, or to spread the load across sessions.

We know it's your holidays, so If you need a break over summer, take it. Summer at UTS is completely optional.

Based on student feedback, we’ve developed more opportunities during summer to help you better manage your workloads throughout the session. You might also consider studying during summer to re-take subjects, brush up your study skills or enhance your employability through a variety of workshops.

Summer session traditionally runs between November - February. Some subjects may only run during a shorter block mode during this period. 

Planning for summer early will assist you in preparing for the year ahead. You don’t have to lock anything in just yet, but perhaps consider how studying during summer might benefit you.

To keep our community as safe as possible, most subjects will remain online only. However, some subjects will give you an option to study online and participate in on-campus activities, and a smaller number will be entirely on-campus.

Summer session subjects are offered during December to late February.

Here are some steps to guide enrolment:

1. See what subjects are on offer over summer in the online subject feed. You can filter by your course area, or even explore elective subjects that are open to all students. Note the subjects listed on this page may change depending on course demand. 
2. Check the Summer session availabilities in the UTS Timetable Planner and be aware that there are a limited number of places available for courses and enrolment is not guaranteed.
3. Refer to the online handbook, and search for the year that you started your course to make sure you're familiar with your course completion requirements.

4. Enrol via My Student Admin. If you need some extra help, you can find assistance on the how to enrol page.

Some extra points you should be aware of: 

• Cross-Institutional and Non-Award study may not be available during the Summer session. You can read more about taking Summer session subjects as a non-award or cross-institutional student on the UTS Website.
• Students obtain their own e-Invoice by logging into My Student Admin. Select Financial Details and then  Invoice. Your e-Invoice will be emailed to your UTS webmail.
• Important: If you decide to withdraw from a Spring session subject, you'll not be able to re-enrol. Please consider this as the Summer session class may already be full.

Visit the Enrolment Changes website for further information regarding enrolment into another faculty’s subjects as electives.

There are generally no restrictions on how many Summer subjects an international student can do.

As long as you undertake 24 cps in Spring and Summer combined, or Summer and Autumn 2020 combined, you should be on track for completing your course in your visa duration.
