Post by: GuDGuyz on January 23, 2009, 12:07:28 am

hi guys, i got an offer for the bachelor of commerce accounting and finance course at monash clayton and it says that i'm required to enrol on next thursday. now unfortunately i'll still be overseas then but i've got someone who can do it for me. i'm after advice on how this is done ie. do i have to call monash uni up to arrange things and what kind of ID should he bring on that day, and also do i have to pick my units by then etc. thanks in advance and happy holidays xD

You should have organised a proxy ages ago... I don't know if you still can... I honestly have no idea. Give monash a call asap.

There is an official paper thing that you MUST have filled out and given to Monash. The link for that is here

Also have a look at this, from the Monash website

Proxy Enrolment

If you cannot attend the university in person to enrol, contact your faculty to see if a proxy should attend.  A proxy is a relative or friend authorised to act on your behalf to complete the academic requirements of enrolment. If you do not have anyone who can act as a proxy then you should contact the faculty that administers your course. International students studying on a student visa are not permitted to enrol via proxy and must register and enrol in person.

Your proxy:

    * must bring two copies of the 'Authorisation for Proxy Enrolment' form signed by you and your proxy
    * a list of units you seek to undertake
    * must retain any documents given out during enrolment.
    * as per the Higher Education Support Act 2003 a proxy cannot complete or sign a 'Request for Commonwealth Support and HECS-HELP' form or a 'Request for FEE-HELP form' unless they also have Power of Attorney.
    * will be given a letter specifying details of what enrolment procedures must still be completed by the student.

NOTE: Your proxy cannot complete any of the administrative components of your enrolment on your behalf (e.g set up authcate account, complete the compulsory Enrolment Questionnaire required by the government, or obtain a student ID card). NOTE: All students can complete the administrative requirements online via WES  apart from obtaining a student ID card.[/quote
