悉尼大学校长就澳政府延长入境限制致全体学生信

亲爱的同学们：
如你们所知，澳大利亚政府13日宣布将临时入境限制延长一周。我知道这个消息会让你们感到失望。在此我向你们保证，在这一不确定的时期内，悉尼大学将尽己所能为你们提供学习支持。
我们正在努力为你们提供更多选择，有些课程将在整个学期提供远程学习，有些课程则只在前五周提供远程学习。这些选择能够让你们在无法到校的情况下参加课程。
在未来几天内，我校官网上将陆续列出提供远程学习的课程，以便你们确认学期计划。在3月30日之前你们可以进行延期或撤销的操作，且不收取滞纳金。我们将在下周二为你们提供明确的清单。
如有问题，请拨打受临时入境限制影响的学生专用热线（澳大利亚东部标准时间上午9点-下午6点）：
（+61）2 8627 0010（国际长途）
 1800 SYD UNI（1800 793 864）（澳大利亚境内）
 按“9”咨询新型冠状病毒的相关问题。
新生还可以发送电子邮件至international.amissions@syney.eu.au。
同时，澳大利亚政府热线可以帮助国际学生解决有关学习和新型冠状病毒的问题或疑虑：
电子邮件：international.stuents@ese.gov.au
电话：1300 981 621（周一至周五澳洲东部标准时间上午8点至晚上8点）
我要再次感谢你们和你们的家人在这个充满挑战的时刻所表现出的耐心。你们是悉尼大学重要的一份子，我们非常期待能尽早地欢迎你们来到校园。下周我还会更新最新的情况。
加油！
悉尼大学校长施迈克博士
