Supporting documentation
Depending on your circumstances, you may be required by UTS to provide supporting documentation where the university requires official information pertaining to your study.
Supporting documentation
With many of the student admin forms you may be required to submit additional supporting documentation.
All supporting documentation should be on official letterhead, have a valid signature, contact details, address, medical provider number (if applicable), Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) number (if applicable), date and should be attached to your application.
In some instances, we may request the document(s) to be provided as:
- an original directly to your UTS Student Centre, or
- a certified copy.
Statutory Declarations
In some instances, you may need to submit a Commonwealth statutory declaration.
A Commonwealth statutory declaration is only to be used in circumstances where you cannot obtain any other supporting documentation for an application such as special consideration, special exams, or fees remissions.
A Commonwealth statutory declaration is a written statement that allows a person to declare something to be true, and they must be signed in the presence of someone who is on the list of authorised witnesses (opens an external website).
Statutory declaration forms are available from the Attorney-General's Department website (opens an external website).
Submitting an appeal
If you are submitting an appeal to UTS, you should provide evidence to support what you have claimed in your appeal letter.
For example:
- Doctor's certificate (the length and severity of illness)
- Employer's letter
- Counsellor's letter of support (the counselling service will generally only provide statements for excluded students who have attended the service prior to their exclusion)
- Religious leader or University lecturer's letter of support
- Letter from parent/family member.
If none of the above are appropriate or available, you may provide a Statutory Declaration.
