In the acceptance and enrollment booklet that they sent out a couple of days ago, it says that I need a Tax File Number (or certificate from the Taxation Office that confirms that I have applied for one). I have neither, and enrollment for my course is at 9AM tomorrow.
Does anyone have any idea what I should do or be doing?
I feel your pain, I have the same problem I called up Usyd so many times and called up the Tax office too.
I wrote them an e-mail

Hi,
If you do not receive that certificate for application for a TFN, you
should still come in on enrolment day. Just explain your situation to the
people at enrollment. However, I would assume that if you already have
applied for a TFN then that certificate of application may still come prior
to your enrolment on Wednesday. If you'd like to double check this (as the
fees office is currently closed for the weekend and I cannot double check
with them), you can call them on 9351 5222, when they reopen on Monday.

I think what I am going to do is tell them my situation and then call them up later and then give them the TFN before the 31st of March or something.
Maybe you could do that too?
