Current students

There are two weeks of holiday leave scheduled after each exam period and over the Christmas and New Year’s break in December. And while it’s not possible to take holiday leave during the semester, you may like to take a short break on public holidays (long weekends), when no classes are taught.

UTS Foundation Studies and diploma students will have a two-week break between semesters.

If you are an English language student moving into UTS Foundation Studies or a diploma at UTS College, you may not have a standard holiday break between your English program and academic program, so make sure you are aware of processes and key dates during this time. Find out about moving from English programs into academic study.

If you need to arrange leave during the study period, this can have a serious impact your studies, and your student visa (if you are an International student). To learn about conditions and processes relating to leave, visit Deferring, withdrawing and taking leave.

Losing your belongings can be stressful, and we will do our best to help you find them. 

If you lose something on campus, or if you find a lost item, contact or visit Campus security. 

If you have lost your student card, visit or contact the Student Centre. 

Sometimes you might find that you did not choose the best program for you, or your circumstances change and you need to study something else or not study at all. 

While it is important to get this sorted out as soon as possible, before making any changes to your enrolment it is essential that you discuss your problem with a Study Success Adviser. 

They will ask the right questions to understand your problem and work out your best options.

If you are sick and cannot attend classes, you will need to see a doctor and get a medical certificate (submit this at the Student Centre on your first day back to class). UTS College students can book a confidential appointment with the UTS Health service. 

If you cannot attend class for any other serious reason or emergency, make sure you contact the UTS College Student Centre by telephone: (+61 2) 9218 8666 or by email studentcentre@insearch.edu.au. 

If any of these situations prevents you from handing in assignments or attending exams, you will also need to contact a Study Success Adviser to discuss Special Consideration.
