Dear Mr Li

Thank you for your message, however your request does not meet the requirements of the NSW Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 (the “GIPA Act”) for an application to access information.

Please note the NSW GIPA Act is not the same as the Commonwealth Freedom of Information Act, in particular there is an application fee of $30 required to be paid. Details of making payments may be found here: https://www.sydney.edu.au/about-us/gover...

Please let me know when you have made the payment and your application will be formally acknowledged and processing will then commence.

Regards

Dear Mr Li

I hope you are well.

I have been trying to contact you via the address you used to make your GIPA Act payment to us.

We have begun processing your request, but I would like to clarify the scope of your request with you, to ensure we're identifying information in the specific time periods you're looking for.

Could you please let me know if you have received that correspondence, or can you let me know if there is another email address you would prefer me to use, in order to clarify some questions with you?

Thanks and best wishes,

Kate, University of Sydney

Hi Austin

Thanks for getting back to me.

I want to check dates with you. In your application you ask for student numbers 'for the 2021/22 admission cycle (i.e. 2021 fall intake)'.

The Australian university sector generally runs on a calendar year system. At the University of Sydney, the primary student intake for a year is at the start of the calendar year. The official annual student enrolment numbers are calculated on the census date, which is at the end of March each year.

Unless you have a concern with this approach, we will base your request on Australian timelines for the academic year and official census date - ie the numbers for the full January to December 2021 academic year.

Best wishes,

Kate
