Dear Agent Partner,
Autumn Session (March) 2021 is just around the corner and we are looking forward to our new students
starting with us on 1 March. Below we have some updates about Orientation and some other key
announcements from Western Sydney International.
ORIENTATION AND ENROLMENT – AUTUMN SESSION 2021
Our new students will be commencing Autumn Session on Monday, 1
March. Over the past month we have been sending important emails
with instructions on how to enrol and Orientation to commencing
students and we encourage you to remind your students to attend their
International Orientation events which will be held virtually from 15 –
25 February. Please also remember to update the personal email
address of your applicants in our Studylink system so they are
receiving our emails directly.
Importantly, as part of our Orientation, we offer School Welcomes and
Academic Course Advice sessions allowing students to meet School
staff, select the right units of study in their first semester and receive guidance on how to enrol and get
started. Find out more about all the Orientation events on offer at the links below.

WESTERN SYDNEY UNIVERSITY – ENGLISH SCHOLARSHIPS
We have extended our pathway English courses 50% tuition fee bursary to 30 June 2021. This is available
for students with offers for the following English courses:
Academic English for Tertiary Preparation (EAP)
Master of Teaching Direct English Entry Program (MTDEEP)
Bachelor of Nursing Direct English Entry Program (BNDEEP)
Standard weekly fees for these courses are $475 per week but many students already benefit from
reduced special country rates. Students will pay half their standard country rate providing an excellent
saving on the preliminary course.
To benefit from this offer students must accept their offers by 30 June 2021.
NURSING QUOTA PLACES UPDATE
We have experienced a very high demand for Bachelor of Nursing 2021 intake but we are still accepting
applications for our 3 year Bachelor program.
Currently we have places available at Campbelltown and Hawkesbury.
We encourage your students to make their applications and secure their acceptances as soon as possible
before all the available places fill up for 2021.
ACCOMMODATION SCHOLARSHIPS
As part of its superior service to international students,
Western Sydney University offers modern, affordable and
conveniently located accommodation across many of its
campuses in the Western suburbs.
We are currently offering 50% accommodation discounts for
students choosing to stay at our Campbelltown, Penrith,
Hawkesbury and Bankstown campus locations.
This represents a massive saving on your students’ accommodation pricing and offers great convenience
for them with on campus access and no further bills to pay.
More information is available here. We encourage you to forward this information to your students.
FEE DEPOSITS FOR COE FOR ONSHORE STUDENTS 2021 and 2022
Many onshore students are planning ahead for our mid-year intake in 2021 and seeking to lock their study
plan early with Western Sydney.
To assist students in these continuing challenging times we are extending our $5,000 deposit COEs for
study on all courses commencing in Spring Session, 2021 July intake.
Students wishing to secure their places on our courses for that intake will be able to pay $5,000 for their
COE and then pay the balance by 18 June 2021.
Western Sydney International have also decided to extend this offer to our Autumn Session (March) and
January Nursing intake in 2022. This will allow your students a chance to lock in their study with Western
Sydney early at a reduced cost. For any student commencing in our Nursing program in January 2022 the
balance payment in full will be due on 1 December 2021. For any students commencing in Autumn
(March) 2022 their fee balance will be due on 1 February 2022.
AGENT COMMISSIONS
As you will be aware Western Sydney International has moved to make our commissions process
smoother by adopting a one payment commission system mid-2020. You will now only need to invoice
once instead of by semester for your commission for each student.
In order to further improve our commission processing we will be switching from Ascent One to the
Studylink system from this semester March 2021. You will soon receive a letter to formally vary the existing
agreement between you and Western Sydney University regarding this change to our invoicing and
payment process. At this time, we will ask you to confirm your Finance Team contact details, as we will be
using these details for all communications to you regarding your commission payments.
If you have any questions in regard to this we encourage you to reach out to our International Finance
Team at wsifinance@westernsydney.edu.au.
