If your details are incorrect, please contact UOW College Student Service via uow-college-enrolment@uow.edu.au or call +61 4252 8804 for help with updating your information prior to proceeding with your enrolment.
Do I have to provide an emergency contact? Who should they be?
It is essential you provide UOW College with someone to contact in the unlikely case of an emergency on campus. Your emergency contact can be anyone you trust to respond to a personal situation like a family member or close friend.
What is the difference between the ‘Current Session Address’ and ‘Permanent Home Address’?
Upon enrolment, you will be required to provide UOW with two addresses:
-
An address for where you will be living during each academic session (current session address); and
-
An address for where we can contact you out of session, an example may be your home address.
The two addresses may be the same. If your details change during your studies, please update via your SOLS account.
What is the survey and why do I have to do it?
The enrolment survey is an Australian Government mandated questionnaire that informs institutional decision-making and reporting practices. It is important that you answer questions honestly, as your responses will contribute to planning for support services at UOW.
What if I don’t know the answer to a question in the survey?
If you do not know the answer, leave the question blank and move on to the next question.
A USI is a unique number issued to each student by the Government. Once you create a USI, you have it for life. You will need a USI in order to receive commonwealth financial assistance, as well as to obtain your qualification.
For detailed information on how to apply for a USI and whether you need one when you enrol, visit our USI page.
