ADMISSION OF STUDENTS
A student who is unable to enrol in person during the enrolment week should:
(1) lodge his enrolment personally at The Registry before the enrolment week; or
(2) arrange for somebody to lodge his enrolment form on his behalf during the enrolment week; or
(3) lodge a postal enrolment before or during the enrolment week.
Postal Enrolments
Only those who are unable to enrol in person before 17th February will be permitted to enrol by post. Such students should write to the Registrar before the beginning of enrolment week, to obtain the necessary form. The com- pleted form should be returned to reach the Registrar no later than 17th February. If the student does not hold, or has not applied for, any scholarship, cadetship, fees concession assistance, or other award, the completed enrolment form must be accompanied by the appropriate fees, otherwise a late fee will be incurred. Immediately on reaching Adelaide, all students who have enrolled by post should report- to the Academic Section on the first floor of The Registry and complete the remainder of the enrolment procedure. This must be done no later than the first day of term, 8th March, 1971.
Provisional Enrolments
A provisional enrolment may be submitted by a student who cannot make a firm enrolment by 17th February because he:
(I) is awaiting the University's decision on his application, or the results of applications fo:"' scholarships, cadetships, etc.; or
(2) is awaiting the results of supplementary examinations; or (3) is unable to produce certificates; or
(4) · is unable to finalise his enrolment because of special circumstances.
Such a student must:
(i) complete his enrolment form as far as possible;
(ii) have his reasons for provisional enrolment accepted by the Enrolment Officer;
(iii)lodge the form before the enrolment week ends (17th February).
A student must confirm, cancel or amend his provisional enrolment as soon as possible, and in any case not later than 15th March, unless an extension of time has been approved in advance by the Registrar. Any provisional enrolment confirmed and accepted after that date may be subject to payment of a late fee of $10.
No enrolment will be accepted after the first day of term, 8th March, except in very exceptional circumstances and with the consent of the Chairman of the appropriate School.
Amendments to Enrolments
A student who wishes to change his enrolment must complete an "Amend- ment to Enrolment" form and return it to the Academic Section of The Registry.
Students should immediately notify the Registrar of any change of address.
Women students who marry should produce their marriage certificate so that the records of the University may be amended appropriately.
Any student who changes name by deed poll should produce the relevant certificate so that the records may be amended appropriately. No change of name can be officially recognised until the certificate has been produced.
Withdrawals
Once a student has enrolled the University will continue to regard him as subject to the discipline of the University and liable for fees, until he notifies the Registrar in writing that he wishes to withdraw. (It is not sufficient for him merely to tell a lecturer.) After the end of the second term a student who withdraws, or who does not sit for examination, will be regarded as having failed, unless he offers reasons for his withdrawal or failure to sit which satisfy the Chairman of his School.
Any student wishing to withdraw should be familiar with the provisions of clause IO of Statute 6.2 Enrolment of Students and clause 11 of Statute 7.1 Bachelors' Degrees.
Academic Progress
The attention of all students is drawn to clauses 9-11 of the Statute 6.2 Enrolment of Students, which provide that the Board of a School may recommend to the Council that a student be not permitted to continue his studies if his academic progress has been unsatisfactory.

Fees Concession Scheme
The Government of South Australia has made prov1s1off for financial help by way of a Fees Concession Scheme to students of the University whose fees are not met by scholarships, cadetships or similar awards or by employers.
The scheme is intended primarily for full-time students.
The assistance granted is related to a means test, based on adjusted family income, and to the location within South Australia of the home residence of the applicants. Continuation of assistance from year to year is subject to satisfactory academic progress.
Overseas Students
The University will receive applications for admission from overseas students, but is anxious to ensure that those students admitted are qualified both by ability and by background studies to undertake their course with good prospects of success. For overseas students whose entry qualifications were obtained at examinations other than at a South Australian matricula- tion examination, the closing date for applications is 1st November of each year. For overseas students qualified to matriculate at a South Australian matriculation examination, applications must be lodged with the Admissions Office by 30th November of each year.
Every private overseas student, who is no_t already in Australia, must forward with his application an Educational Record Form (Form Ml 130) which is obtainable from the Australian Overseas Mission in his own country, and he should first approach the Overseas Mission to obtain this form. A candidate who, at the time the selection is made, is not qualified to matriculate cannot be considered for entry in the foIIowing March. Application forms for admission will be supplied on request. Each candidate should send with his application (a) full particulars of his educational qualifications, including a certified statement of examinations passed and grade of pass in each subject;
and (b) one or more testimonials, including a statement from the Headmaster of the school last attended. An original document in a language other than English should be accompanied by a certified translation.
A candidate may be accepted as qualified for matriculation if he holds a certificate which qualifies him for matriculation in a recognised University, provided that at least five subjects specified in the South Australian require- ments are included and provided also that in the case of a candidate from a country in which English is not the national language, he has passed in the University's Standard English Test. Adequate qualifications in English are regarded as essential.
A candidate who presents Cambridge Oversea School and Higher School Certificates is normally required (a) to have passed in at least three subjects at Principal level in the H.S.C. examination; (b) to have included in his passes at credit standard or better at the School Certificate examination, subjects which satisfy the grouping requirements of the Statute 6.1 Matriculation;
(c) to have satisfied certain other requirements. In all cases a pass in
English language, at credit standard or better, is required, and a candidate seeking entry into science must have adequate qualifications in mathematics.
A candidate from China or Hong Kong must send evidence that he is quali- fied to matriculate in the University of Hong Kong and his subjects must satisfy the grouping requirements of the Matriculation Statute.
A candidate from outside Australia who has passed a recognised matricula- tion or equivalent examination may apply to the Registrar to have his position determined and each case will be considered on its merits. A candi- date who is unable to present acceptable evidence of matriculation work done elsewhere will be required to pass the South Australian Matriculation Examination.
Graduate Studies
The Degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Economics, Master of Education, Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy are available,1 and a student may apply at any time to register as a graduate student. A graduate student must have his candidature and his programme of studies approved by the Board of the appropriate School. In some disciplines the Master's Degree involves course work, directed reading and examinations, but in other disciplines the :Master's Degree involves research work and the preparation of a thesis, not so extensive as that required for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Graduate students normally commence their studies at the beginning of February, but they may register and commence research work at any time during the year.
A postgraduate Diploma in Education and a postgraduate Diploma in Social Administration are both available2 in the School of Social Sciences.
The annual Registration Fee for Master's Degrees and the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy is $174 for full-time students and $87 for part-time students.
The annual Tuition Fee for full-time students proceeding to the Diploma in Education or the Diploma in Social Administration is $351.
Graduate students pay the same Union Fee as undergraduates, namely, $45 for full-time and $24 for part-time students.
