Q: How do I advise of a change to my address, name, title or date of birth?

Answer:

Contact Details Changes
The easiest and fastest way to change your contact details with the University, is on the Access Adelaide web site at http://access.adelaide.edu.au
You will need to be currently enrolled as a student to use the website and can log in using your student number preceded by a lower case "a" as the username, and your password. For example username: a1234567 and password: abcd#1234

The Access Adelaide website will update your changes immediately. If you know you will be moving in the future, you can set an effective date for the address change to take place so that on the day you nominate, the address automatically updates on the system.

Home Address

  • you must have a home address and it can't be a PO Box address
  • If you are a temporary resident in Australia your home address must be an overseas address.

    Mailing address

  • If you are a permanent resident or Australian citizen you don't have to enter a mailing address unless you want mail from the university to be sent somewhere other than your home address.
  • Once you've entered a mail address you must keep it up to date.
  • if you are a temporary resident in Australia you must provide a mailing address and it must be an Australian address.
  • Do not list the International Student Centre or other campus locations as your mailing address.

    Billing Address

  • you don't have to have a billing address unless you want your university bills or invoices addressed to a third party.

    Name, Title or Date of Birth changes
    If you are changing your name, title or date of birth or if you are not currently enrolled at the University, you will need to fill in a form to change your contact details. You can download a Change of Personal Details form from the website.

    Note the following information about the rules regarding changes of name:
    The University's records will be raised in the name given by the person at their first contact with the University. It will continue to be used until it is changed in a way acceptable to the University, and only if documentary evidence of the change of details is submitted. This evidence (original or certified copy), may be one of the following:
    (a) Marriage certificate, birth certificate or passport (Note: Only one name - married or unmarried name - can be used. Hyphenated names, or names comprising both married and unmarried name, will require an official change of name certified by the Principal Registry Office of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Registration Division in the Office of Consumer and Business Affairs;
    (b) Certificate of change of name, issued by the Principal Registry Office of Births, Deaths and Marriages;
    (c) For offshore international students only, enrolled in either Hong Kong or Singapore, an official Hong Kong or Singapore government id card."

    Changes to your details can also be accepted by post if the letter includes your certified documentation, your name, ID number, the changes to be made and your signature. Changes will not be accepted by email or telephone.
