Internal Transfer for 2009 for Domestic Students
If you are enrolled at the University of Adelaide this year and you wish to change your program of study for 2009, you may be eligible to apply for an internal transfer rather than applying through SATAC. Internal transfer applications are open until 7 November 2008. Late applications will not be accepted. Please refer to the list of undergraduate programs, available on the Internal Transfers website, to see if the program you are interested in is available for internal transfer.

• You have an enrolment in an undergraduate program at the University in 2008
• You meet the pre-requisites (if any) for the program that you want to transfer to
• You are eligible for selection based on your year 12 TER. This means that generally you will have completed two years or less of study at tertiary level, by the end of Semester 2, 2008.
• Your TER meets or exceeds the cut-off for admission in 2008 (see details on the Internal Transfer website)
• You are eligible for selection based on your STAT result. This means that generally you will have completed two years or less of study at tertiary level, by the end of Semester 2, 2008.

December Graduations
Are you completing study this semester and want to graduate? The next Graduation ceremonies are being held 16th - 23st December 2008. To apply, you must log into Access Adelaide and complete the application by 5:00pm Friday 31st October. For further information about Graduations, please visit the Graduations website.
STUDENT LOANS FUND
Would an *Interest free loan* help you budget for your essential study needs? The University offers loans up to $500 without guarantor, and larger amounts with guarantor ($2,000 maximum) are negotiable.
Conditions apply: your ability to repay, including your academic viability, is assessed as part of the application process, and the loans must be repaid at least in time for you to graduate.
The loans can be for anything directly related to your study life: so a loan might let you buy your books at the beginning of the semester, pay your power bills on time, get essential repairs done to the car you need for your part-time job, or get the lap-top that you might need for the later years of your program.
