We know managing your study administration can be time consuming. That’s why we’re introducing a new Student Management System in late 2026.
Faster, easier administration so you can get back to studying sooner.
Designed with you at the centre, the new system delivers a simpler, more connected experience. Enjoy greater self-service, clearer processes and support when you need it.
We’re incorporating your feedback from our key university surveys into the new system design.
Here’s what you’ve told us:
You'll be able to complete all your study administration in one place, including:
Manage your admission applications with ease. Track your application progress, review submitted applications, view your offers, and accept or decline them online.
Manage your enrolment and progress, including selecting your major, minor and specialisation, planning your study, enrolling in subjects and study load information.
Access and submit a range of forms/requests you need throughout your studies. This includes special consideration requests like subject withdrawals after census and leave of absence, with convenient self-service options.
Keep track of your university finances by viewing and paying invoices, accessing financial statements, and managing your government assistance forms.
Keep your personal information up to date, including your contact details and emergency contacts.
View outstanding requests, approvals, and action reminders that need your attention.
How you manage your study administration is changing, however the Student Portal and Brightspace remain the same. Both platforms have recently been redeveloped and will continue to support you throughout your studies.
Student Portal will remain your main access point, providing a launchpad to access support services, stay on track with checkpoints and manage your studies.
Brightspace will continue to be your main learning hub, where you can access your course content, learning materials and support resources.
Some university systems will be unavailable from Friday 20 November to 9am Monday 30 November 2026 while we upgrade to the new Student Management System.
This will mostly affect students studying in Session 3, but we recommend checking the key dates page to see whether the outages may affect you.
Brightspace will not be affected, so you’ll still be able to access your subject content and continue your studies. The outages will only affect some study administration tasks, including subject enrolment, some forms and updating your personal details.
We’ll provide more information about affected services, important actions and available workarounds closer to the outage. Keep an eye on your email and this page for updates.
