I dunno bout the other unis, but mine (Newcastle) you need to make time to go to student services and get it, they don't automatically send them out on xxx date.

USYD has the worst student cards of them all.

UTS students get their student cards on the spot when you come in to enrol (so late January/early February). So if you're going to be enrolling into a course at UTS, then make sure you look good for your photo on the day .

Also note that uni concession cards are different to those ones you get at school (ie. your green one). Instead of paying child price, you will be paying student price. Student prices are half price of adult peak fare, so a $12 adult peak fare will cost you $6.00 return. However, the same adult off peak fare is $7.20, but you will still pay $6.00. If you're mostly travelling in peak times then it's pretty cheap still. A weekly ticket is half the price of the adult weekly tickets, which turn out to be cheaper if you travel at least 3.5-4 times a week return.

UoW issues their cards at the end of January when first year students enroll. On Premier Illawarra buses only UoW student cards are accepted as a form of uni student concession. Lucky for me, in Sydney, all student cards are accepted... including UoW. I have the best of both worlds.

I wrote a submission to the USYD Senate detailing lots of reasons why it would be good policy for the University to introduce proper cards, or even Smart Cards. At least we're getting separate Union cards this year.

yes thats correct,
if you are travelling by private bus to the university you need to fill out an alternative form which you can get from your universities student administration block

UNSW, you can get them as soon as you have been enrolled.

Re-enrolling students can get them basically when UNSW opens from christmas break (4th of Jan I think..? beat the o-week queues)
