Enrolling students

In order to recruit students who intend to study at CET and possibly the University of Sydney, agents will need to know about enrolling and whether a student needs to be packaged or non-packaged.

In order to understand the processes of enrolment, please use the links below:

Enrolling a packaged student

What is packaging?

Packaging means a student can get one visa to cover both their English studies as well as their university studies. It is particularly useful for students who are from level 3 and level 4 countries.

Those students who only wish to study at CET should apply for a single visa to cover their English course at CET. This means they would be non-packaged.

Packaging diagram

The student needs the following in order to apply at CET for a packaged visa:

  • current conditional offer from the University of Sydney
  • IELTS/TOEFL results (less than two years old)

Programs & English tests

English test

CET offers a wide range of English education so in order to counsel accordingly, please familiarise yourself as well as your staff with the various courses. Information on our courses can be found in our current brochure and under Programs and dates on this website.

It is also important to see the Pathways to success diagram and apply it to enrolling a student.

For information about English testing, please visit English tests.

Accommodation

Accommodation will be very different in Sydney compared to that of your student's country. The inner city, where the university is situated, has mostly older-styled housing available for homestay/homeshare students.

Homestay/homeshare may seem strange at first while your student learns about our different customs. Interacting with people from other cultures can be challenging for even the most motivated student, however it can also be very rewarding.

It is important that the students come with an open mind and the knowledge that things will not be the same. It generally takes students at least a week to feel at home.

You can help to minimise homesickness and other concerns students have when they first arrive by supplying them with this information.

CET does not supply accommodation directly however we do recommend some providers who you can contact and book for your students. See our accommodation page for more info.

Orientation & registration - the first day at CET

Orientation

Generally registration of our students begins at 9:00am. Upon registration the student will receive a program outlining the events of the day which includes introducing the student to CET and its surroundings and also a free lunch in one of the University's many facilities.

In the afternoon, class lists will be put on the notice boards so the student knows what to do for the following day's commencement of their course.
