悉尼大学 11 月更新（国际招生CAP更新，审核中的新国际学生会轮次发录取，三所加拿大大学发现成绩作假，需体检数字成绩；计算机科学硕士双非涨分至87 分）

请查看以下是来自悉尼大学的更新。

随着2025年第一学期的开学日期日益临近，我想在此分享一些重要的录取更新，以便您能更好地引导您的学生。

一、国际招生CAP更新

大学正在密切监控本科和研究生课程的招生情况。由于对我们课程的兴趣空前高涨，且已收到大量2025年第一学期的申请，目前可供新国际学生（NOSC）的名额非常有限。我们强烈建议合作伙伴将重点转移至第二学期的招生，以便优先处理已提交的申请。

对已在系统中的NOSC申请的处理

2025年第一学期的申请将按轮次进行评估并发放录取通知。部分申请人可能会被放入候补名单，并在有空位时优先考虑。

请注意，候补名单上的申请人可能会根据优先级获得录取。 未能排位足够高的申请人将收到申请失效的通知。

此外，随着我们接近课程配额上限，任何未完全接受或缺少付款凭证的录取将被撤销，申请人将通过电子邮件收到通知。

获豁免（非NOSC）的申请人包括：

请注意，免于政府海外入学人数限制的新生（非NOSC）将按正常评估。我们鼓励您按常规提交这些非NOSC申请。

符合以下条件的申请人将免于政府的入学限制：

• 悉尼大学的现有学生或在过去12个月内完成悉尼大学学业的学生（例如，2024年在悉尼大学学习并申请2025年入学）
• 高级研究学位学生
• 非学生签证持有者
• 交换生和访问生
• 澳大利亚政府资助的奖学金持有者和签证持有者
• 其他外交与贸易部或国防部资助的学生
• 来自太平洋和东帝汶的学生
• 外国政府奖学金持有者

此外，我们提醒您，悉尼大学发布了常见问题页面，为您提供有用的信息。随着信息的更新，该页面将不断更新。

对于已接受配套课程录取的学生（包括悉尼大学语言中心和悉尼大学预科配套课程）以及当前在读的悉尼大学学生，录取将一直有效，直至其成绩发布，因为我们已为这些学生预留名额。

申请学分的申请人可以选择取消其学分申请，接受录取以确保名额，并在开放注册后重新申请学分。

二 “立即申请”页面

悉尼大学的“立即申请”页面即将更新，以更清楚地区分受澳大利亚政府人数限制和豁免学生的类别。

这一变化旨在帮助潜在学生更好地理解他们的资格和新的分类下的招生情况。更新后的页面将包含详细的解释和示例，以确保所有申请人能够轻松识别自己的类别，并对申请做出明智的决定。

如果入学学期未在入学年份的下拉框中显示，则可能是由于课程已满、该学期的申请截止日期已过，或课程不接受该学期的申请。

三、资格验证更新

近期，大学招生团队发现以下大学的申请材料中出现了虚假文件的情况：

• 约克大学
• 卡尔顿大学
• 阿尔伯塔大学

为了降低接收美国和加拿大虚假文件的风险，招生团队将要求所有持有这些国家资格的申请人提交数字成绩单（如有），或由代理确认已看到原件或带电子签名的成绩单。

对于已完成录取决定且符合上述加拿大大学资格的学生，招生团队将采取以下验证步骤：

• 已接受录取的学生：招生团队已联系学生和代理，要求他们尽快提供数字成绩单，以便在开放注册后继续入学。
• 已收到录取通知的学生：录取通知信已更新，要求提供数字成绩单副本。一旦收到所需文件，我们将更新录取通知。
• 候补名单上的学生：我们已向这些学生重新发出带条件的录取通知，要求提交数字成绩单副本。一旦收到所需文件，我们将重新将学生放回候补名单。
• 推迟入学的学生：此前获得无条件录取信但未提交数字成绩单的学生，若申请延期，将需要提供所需的成绩单。

我们理解卡尔顿大学目前无法提供数字成绩单，因此所有由该大学颁发的学术文件将进行来源验证。拥有该校资格的学生的录取结果可能需要更长的时间来处理。

四、研究生计算机科学课程入学要求更改

为了继续保持我们的高质量标准，并为最好的学术申请者提供名额，计算机科学学院已经审查了他们的入学要求，并将提高中国资格的GPA要求。

自2024年12月1日起，所有在此日期或之后提交的具有中国资格的申请将按照新的入学要求进行评估

任何在2024年12月1日之前提交的申请仍将按照旧的GPA要求进行评估。

在2024年12月1日之后提交的任何过期/撤回申请和新申请，将使用新的GPA要求进行评估。

五、海外健康保险保单号码

请注意，如果您的学生在接受录取时要求大学为其安排海外健康保险，我们将通过我们的首选供应商保柏成功海外健康保险为其安排健康保险。OSHC政策只有在课程开放注册后，并在他们收到邀请他们注册的电子邮件后才有效。悉尼大学的入学注册将于2024年11月25日开放。如果您的学生在申请签证之前需要OSHC政策，请将您的请求发送给招生办公室，我们可以提供所需的帮助，以协助签证申请过程。

We understand that these upcoming intakes are challenging for all involved and we would like to extend our gratitude for all your continued support, especially during our implementation of Government imposed caps. Your support and understanding is much appreciated!

As the Semester 1, 2025 commencement is fast approaching, I am writing to share some important admissions updates so you can better guide your students.

International CAP Update

The University continues to closely monitor our degree offerings at both the undergraduate and postgraduate coursework levels.

Due to an overwhelming level of interest in our programs and a significant number of applications already received for Semester 1, 2025, we have a very limited number of places available for New Overseas Student Commencement (NOSC) students. We strongly encourage our partners to move their focus onto the Semester 2 intake for NOSC applications as we prioritise those that have already been submitted.

What Happens with NOSC Applications Already in the System

NOSC applicants with an active application for Semester 1, 2025 will be assessed, and offers will be issued on a round-by-round basis. Applicants placed on the waitlist, as applicable, will be considered for any spots that become available.  

Please note that applicants who are waitlisted may be ranked for an offer. Those who are not ranked high enough to receive an offer will be notified that their application has been lapsed.

In addition, as we approach our program quotas, any offers not fully accepted or lacking payment evidence will be withdrawn, and applicants will be notified via email.

Which Applications Should Our Partners Submit for Semester 1, 2025?

Please note that applicants exempt from the proposed new government cap on overseas commencements (Non-NOSC applicants) will be assessed through our normal processes. We encourage you to submit applications for these Non-NOSC applicants as usual.

Applicants who are exempt (Non-NOSC) from the proposed government’s new overseas commencement cap include:  

• Current students at the University of Sydney and within a maximum 12-month period since completion of previous candidature with the University. Example, those who studied at the University of Sydney in 2024 and are applying for 2025 commencement.
• Higher Degree by Research students
• Non-student visa holders
• Study abroad and exchange students
• Australian Government sponsored scholars and visa holders
• Other Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or Defence-sponsored students
• Students from the Pacific and Timor Leste
• Foreign government scholarship holders

If your applicant has applied for a foreign government scholarship or sponsorship, we recommend that you contact the Admissions Office as soon as possible.

Additionally, we remind you that the University of Sydney has released a page dedicated to Frequently Asked Questions to provide you with helpful information. This page will continue to be updated as information becomes available.

Offer holders with packaged courses, including the Centre for English Teaching and University of Sydney Foundation packages, as well as current University of Sydney enrolled students, will have their offers remain valid until their results are released, as we have reserved spots for these students.

Applicants who applied for credit but have not yet received an outcome can choose to cancel their applicant credit application, accept their offer to secure your place and then re-apply for student credit once enrolment opens.  

‘Apply now’ Web Page

The Apply Now page for courses at the University of Sydney will soon be updated to provide clearer distinctions between Australian Government’s capped students and exempt students. This change aims to help prospective students better understand their eligibility and the availability of intakes under the new categories. The updated page will include detailed explanations and examples to ensure all applicants can easily identify their category and make informed decisions about their applications.

If the semester intake is not displayed in the entry year drop-down box, then the semester is not available for applications due to either the course reaching capacity, the application deadline has passed for that intake, or the course does not take applications for that intake.

Qualification Verification Update

Recently, the University’s Admission team has observed an increase in fraudulent documentation from the following universities:

• York University
• Carleton University
• University of Alberta

To mitigate the risk of receiving fraudulent documentation from the US and Canada, the Admissions team will now require all applicants with qualifications from these countries to submit a digital transcript where available, or a transcript confirmed by the agent that the original or digitally signed transcript has been sighted.

To distinguish between a document with an electronic signature and one without, agents should look for a digital certificate or a unique verification code embedded within the document. It’s important to note that if the digital transcript is printed, the electronic signature will no longer be visible or verifiable. Therefore, agents must stamp the transcript only if they have personally viewed the original electronic version with the signature. This stamp indicates that they have verified the authenticity of the electronic signature. This verification process is a crucial responsibility outlined in the agent agreement, ensuring that only authenticated transcripts are accepted.

For current applications with an admissions decision finalised based on qualifications from one of the three Canadian universities listed above, the Admissions team will proceed with the following verification steps:

• For students who have accepted an offer: the Admissions team has reached out to students and agents to request that they provide their digital transcript as soon as possible before they are able to proceed with enrolment once the enrolment is open.
• For students who have received an admissions offer: the admissions offer letter has been updated to include a condition for submitting a digital copy of the transcript. Once the required document is received, we will issue the updated admissions offer letter.
• For students currently on the waitlist: we have reissued a conditional offer to these students, requiring the submission of a digital copy of the transcript. Once we receive the required document, we will place the student back on the waitlist.
• For students who are deferring an offer: students who received an unconditional offer letter for a previous intake without a digital transcript will be required to provide the required transcript if they request a deferral.

We understand that digital transcripts are currently unavailable for Carleton University, so all academic documents issued by the university are undergoing a back-to-source verification process. Please expect a longer turnaround time for receiving an admissions outcome for students with a qualification from this university.

Postgraduate Computer Science Courses Entry Requirements Change

To continue with our high-quality standards and offer places to the best academic applicants, the School of Computer Science has reviewed their entry requirements and will increase the GPA requirement for Chinese qualifications.

Effective from the 1^st December 2024, all applications with qualifications from China submitted on or after this date will be assessed as per the new entry requirements.

Any application submitted before the 1^st December 2024 will still be assessed as per the old GPA requirement.

Any application that was lapsed/withdrawn and a new application is submitted after the 1^st December 2024, the new GPA requirement will be used for assessment.

By implementing these revised GPA requirements, we aim to encourage non-211 students to strive for excellence, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of our student body.

Overseas Health Cover Policy Number

As a reminder, if your student requested the University to arrange OSHC on their behalf when they accepted their offer, we will arrange their OSHC through our preferred provider, Bupa Success Overseas Health Cover. The OSHC policy will only be available once enrolment is open for the course, and after they have received an email inviting them to enrol.

The University of Sydney’s enrolment period opens on the 25^th of November 2024. If your student needs the OSHC policy earlier to apply for their visa, please email the Admissions office with your request and we can provide what is needed to assist with the visa application process.
