Hello Mr Li

Your freedom of information request

I refer to your correspondence dated 24 April 2022 in which you requested:

‘I would be very grateful if you can kindly provide the following data for
the 2021/22 admission cycle (i.e. 2021 fall intake):

1. List of all postgraduate taught programmes

2. Numbers of all applications (for each specific programme)

3. Numbers of all offers made (for each specific programme)

4. Numbers of Chinese nationality applications (for each specific
programme)

5. Numbers of Chinese nationality offers made (for each specific
programme)’

You are making a request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Vic)
(FOI Act). However, at this time, your request is not valid under section
17 of the FOI Act because you have not paid the application fee of $30.10
and it is not clear and specific enough for us to identify the documents
you have requested.

This means we cannot start processing your request until you pay the
application fee or request a fee waiver and give us more information about
your request.

Paying the application fee

To proceed with your request, please pay the application fee of $30.10:

o online at
[1]https://ecommerce.unimelb.edu.au/bcad/ca...
or
o via cheque or money order made payable to ‘The University of
Melbourne’ or
o by credit card on phoning the FOI Lead on 9035 4268

Requesting a fee waiver or reduction

If paying the application fee would cause you hardship, you may ask us to
waive or reduce it. To do this, please provide supporting information so
we can assess your eligibility for a fee waiver or reduction. Supporting
information may include a copy of a current concession or health care
card, a bank statement, or statutory declaration outlining why paying the
application fee would cause you hardship. If you are not sure what
information to provide, please contact us to discuss further.

Your request requires clarification

For your request to be valid under section 17 of the FOI Act, it must
provide enough information about the documents you asked for so we can
properly identify them. If the terms of a request are not sufficiently
clear, it will not comply with section 17 of the FOI Act and we cannot
process it.

To clarify your request, please answer the following questions:

 1. What is the exact time period of your request in 2021 to 2022? It is
not clear what is meant by the terms ‘fall intake’.
 2. The terms’ Chinese nationality’ has been interpreted as any person
declaring themselves to be Chinese to the University. Please confirm
that this interpretation is correct.

What you need to do

Please pay the application fee of $30.10 using the payment method outlined
above, or, provide evidence of hardship for a fee waiver or reduction.
Please also clarify your request so we can process it.

If we do not hear from you by 20 May 2022, we may close your request
without processing it. If we close your request without processing it, you
will need to make a new request if you wish to access the documents.

If you have any questions about the FOI process, please email us at the
email recorded below, quoting reference FOI22/4821.
