You can find a record of your personal details in My Student Admin in the ‘Personal’ tab. This includes your name, citizenship and residency details, current contact details, and any medical or accessibility information that you have shared with us.
It is important that you keep these details up to date. It's also important to ensure that your personal information at the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and the Unique Student Identifier (USI) Registry Office is the same as the information at UTS. This will avoid the risk of having an unverified USI or TFN which will have an impact on your graduation. Read more about ensuring that your USI can be verified. \
Updating your name, DOB or gender
You can check your name, DOB or gender in the ‘Name Details‘ section of the ‘Personal‘ tab in My Student Admin. If you need to make any updates, you can submit our online form.
You will need to provide certified supporting documents to make changes or corrections. The documents must also be valid and current. This means an authorised officer must view your original document, and then certify a copy as a true copy of your original document. We accept documents that have been certified at the UTS Student Centre in Building 10. Read more about Providing certified documents to UTS.
Your formal name at UTS should reflect your full legal name. This means that your full legal name will be displayed on your graduation documents. You are also able to nominate a preferred name which can be used throughout your studies, but will not appear on your documents.
If you have already graduated, or if you are a graduating student and you submit a request to change your name after the deadline, fees may apply to reissue your graduation documents with the new name.

Accessibility and ongoing medical conditions
If you are living with one or more disabilities, medical or mental health conditions that may affect your studies, you can let UTS know in the 'Accessibility details' section of the ‘Personal’ tab in My Student Admin.
You aren’t required to disclose anything to UTS, but if you do, it allows us to maintain accurate information that supports government reporting on the number of students with a disability across universities.
You may also choose to register for assistance from the UTS Accessibility Service for support in managing your studies.
How we use your information
We will use your student email address as the primary form of communication regarding your studies. If you choose to set up a forwarding email account, it is your responsibility to ensure that the account is set up correctly.
Many students choose to provide an external email address or a mobile phone number. We may use these as a secondary form of communication. However, it isn’t always possible for us to contact you by phone or personal email, even if you have provided them in My Student Admin. All official communications will be sent to your UTS student email address.
Your name and date of birth will be verified against the Unique Student Identifier (USI) Registry. If you are receiving any form of Commonwealth assistance, they will also be verified against the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). It is therefore important that you let us know if your name changes, or if your date of birth is incorrect. You can read more about this under Updating your name.
You can read more about Privacy and Confidentiality and your privacy at UTS.
