Commonwealth Assistance Notice (CAN)

After the census date, the University of Adelaide will send you a Commonwealth Assistance Notice (CAN).

The CAN includes important information about your enrolment, any HELP debt you have incurred or student contribution amounts you have paid, and any loan fee you may have incurred.

The CAN will be provided electronically and you will be advised via your University of Adelaide email account when the CAN is available to view on MyAdelaide.
