悉尼大學2025 年 1 月更新

請查看以下是來自悉尼大學的更新。附件是悉尼大學最新條件 COE 申請表。

一、 簽證處理時間

隨著澳大利亞政府發布第111號部長指令（MD111），學生簽證現在實行優先處理。由於我們各學院和學校的課程備受歡迎，目前我們已達到2025年新入學學生簽證名額的80%閾值。請注意，這一百分比並不反映悉尼大學各課程的招生容量。由於此政策，簽證處理時間可能延長，政府預計的等待時間為12至16週。因此，學生在規劃學業時必須考慮到這些時間表。對於優先級2的簽證處理，我們尚不確定其流程，但會持續監測並提供更新。

二、規劃建議

1. 計劃在2025年第一學期（S1）開始學習的學生：如果尚未申請簽證，請立即申請。
2. 計劃在2025年第二學期（S2）開始學習的學生：建議在4月前完成所有申請材料並提交簽證申請。
3. 澳洲境內簽證申請：處理時間可能長達5至6個月。持過渡簽證的學生在等待簽證結果期間將受到現有簽證的保護。
4. 如果學生無法及時獲得簽證，應準備推遲入學日期。

三、晚到

招生辦公室無法為未能按時到校的學生提供具體指導。大多數課程對出勤要求較高，學生應檢查時間表以了解課程開始日期、考試安排和評估截止日期。註冊學生可通過Canvas獲取所需學習資料並計劃學習。如需進一步建議或幫助，請聯繫 Canvas 上提供的相關聯繫方式。請參閱：何時註冊網站，了解關鍵註冊日期。

As this is our first Admissions Update for the year I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year for 2025! I sincerely hope you have either had a break or are about to have one. It is a new year with new challenges and I look forward to keeping you informed of changes and happenings via these regular 'Admissions Updates'.

Visa Timelines

We would like to remind our partners that following the introduction of Ministerial Direction 111 (MD111), the Australian Government has implemented priority processing for student visas. Due to the popularity of our programs across the various faculties and schools, we have now reached the 80% of visas in effect for the government's definition of new commencing students' threshold for 2025. Please note that the percentage is not a reflection of the capacity of each program at the University of Sydney.

Visa processing may take longer, with the government advising wait times of up to 12 to 16 weeks. Therefore, students must account for these timelines when planning their studies. We do not know yet how visas will be processed for priority 2 cases and will continue to monitor and provide updates. We appreciate you working with us as we navigate this change and welcome any intel from your experiences throughout the coming months.

Guidance for Your Students

As our partners, we urge you to ensure your clients are aware about visa timelines outlined by the Department of Home Affairs. Please emphasise the importance of acting promptly to avoid disruptions. We are still keen to welcome your students to our courses and believe many will be able to secure their dream course if they plan accordingly.

To assist with planning:

• Students intending to start in Semester 1, 2025, should apply for their visas immediately, if they have not already done so.
• Students intending to start in Semester 2, 2025, are recommended to finalise their documentation and lodge their visa applications by April, where possible
• Onshore visa processing will take significantly longer with Home Affairs stating wait times of 5 to 6 months. Students transitioning to a bridging visa with study rights will have the advantage of being covered while waiting for their outcomes.

If your student will not obtain their visa on time for semester commencement, they should be prepared to delay their start date

Student visas are processed and assessed by the Department of Home Affairs, and the University does not have the ability to influence processing times or outcomes.

International students who are experiencing delays in obtaining a student visa by the course commencement date should read the information available on the Student Visa webpage.

Ministerial Direction 111 does not currently apply to courses for 2026 entry. Applications for 2026 are also open now.

Late Arrival Information

The Admissions Office cannot offer specific guidance to students who are not onshore by the start of the semester. Given that most courses have high attendance requirements, it is essential for students to review their timetable for class start dates, in-person examinations, and assessment due dates. Enrolled students can access all necessary materials on Canvas to plan and prepare for their arrival. For further advice or assistance with study materials and attendance requirements for specific units, the relevant contact details are available on Canvas.

Please also refer to theWhen to Enrol website, which provides information on key enrolment dates.

Please note: updated admissions processes to assist our students and partners.
